What effect did the absence of General JEB Stuart have on the defeat of the Confederates in the Battle of Gettysburg?

None. Jeb Stuart was at the Battle of Gettysburg with his cavalry getting whipped by a much smaller force led by General Custer. Stewart was attacking from the north while Pickett's division attacked from the south. The two forces never joined in the middle as Lee had planned.

∙ 6y agoMajor General JEB Stuart's absence on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg hurt the Confederate efforts. Stuart also missed most of the second day of battle. General Lee reprimanded Stuart for his failure to be there on time. Stuart's surprise and defeat at the Battle of Brandy Station caused General Lee to not be sure of the Union's positions. The fact that General Lee was caught off guard by Union troops was a serious problem. This situation was a contributing factor in the Confederate loss.
