Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and James Longstreet viewed Union General George Meade as a competent and capable commander, particularly noting his ability to organize and rally his troops effectively. However, they often criticized his cautious approach and tendency to avoid aggressive engagements, which they believed allowed the Confederate army to retain advantages in certain battles. Longstreet, in particular, felt that Meade's strategy was overly defensive, limiting opportunities for decisive victory against the Confederates. Overall, while they respected Meade's leadership, they believed his strategy did not fully exploit the weaknesses of the Confederate forces.
