No.
Although many blame Longstreet for the failure, the fault lay in supply lines that were far too long. By the time Longstreet's corps was ordered forward on the third day of the battle, the Confederates had used all of their cannon cartridges. One division reported two charges left in the entire division. General Lee was also aware of the misjudgments he had made in estimating the size and composition of the Union forces, and after the battle acknowledged that he never expected the Union to show such tremendous strength in its center after the severe losses of the previous two days. A serious flaw in the overall battle plan was that the main force of Confederate cavalry was off doing everything except the recon that Lee required.
