Best Answer

Division-level generals (Lee, Longstreet, Pickett, et al) generally do not lead their troops from the front. They remain to the rear and direct the flow of the battle. Battalion and Regimental commanders did normally go right to the front. Nearly all of Pickett's regimental and battalion commanders were killed, wounded, or caputured in the attack on the Union center. Pickett did not fail to lead. The battle plan was defective; it was Lee's error.
