Lee was drawn into the Battle of Gettysburg by mistake. General Henry Heath advanced on Gettysburg on the morning of July 1, 1863, in order to capture a supply of shoes in the area. His men were attacked by General Buford's cavalry division. By the time General Lee arrived on the battlefield in the afternoon, several other Confederate units had joined General Heath and the battle had developed into a major engagement. General Lee ordered the rest of his army to concentrate at Gettysburg with the goal to capture Gettysburg and defeat the Union forces defending it.
ANSWER The Confederate Army had no Chief of Staff, because Jefferson Davis preferred keep the responsibility related to on himself, with disastrous outcome. Only at the last stage of the war R.E. Lee was appointed to that charge but it was too late to remedy the mistake and influence the course of the military events.
He miscalculated the strength of the Japanese and was forced to retreat.MacArthur positioned his forces to repel the Japanese land attack on December 22, but he badly miscalculated the strength of the enemy and was forced to retreat.

The Confederates. But the Confederate commander, Braxton Bragg, failed to follow up by pursuing the routed Union forces. Then he laid a poorly conducted half-siege to Chattanooga, where the Yankees retreated. Then he divided his force, sending off almost half his army in an ill-conceived campaign to recapture Knoxville. The Yankees meanwhile had brought in Grant to take over in Chattanooga, and when Grant attacked to break the siege Bragg no longer had sufficient strength to contain the Federals. So, in the long run, the advantages of the Confederate's smashing victory at Chickamauga were wasted. This editorial on the battle is ill-founded. Bragg's personalty problems bring he and General James Longstreet into a feud. This requires Jefferson Davis to arrive from Richmond to mediate the dispute.
In 1863, Confederate General Bragg sent General Longstreet and 12, 000 of his men away to try to dislodge a Union unit. This would leave him badly outnumbered when it came time for the big battle.

The Federal Amy of the Potomac was commanded by Major General George G. Mead. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia was Commanded by General Robert E. Lee.
I think that it means general or maybe a spelling mistake of general.
Listening to his voices and not his general.
It can be argued that it was a mistake for Lee to advance into Maryland because it divided his forces and made them vulnerable to attack. Additionally, it allowed the Union army to gather reinforcements and launch a successful counteroffensive at the Battle of Antietam. On the other hand, Lee believed that a major Confederate victory on Union soil would demoralize the North and potentially turn the tide of the war in favor of the South.
From a purely tactical perspective, it was a mistake for Confederate General Robert E. Lee to march the entire army to Frederick, Maryland before having cleared his supply line by capturing Harpers Ferry. The Union decision to make a stand there damaged Lee's plan and forced the devision of his army that gave Union General McClellan a step forward to derail Lee's plans.
Because he ordered all of his men at once to attack instead of setting up his artillery etc. it was a risky plan due to him risking his men.Furthermore, Confederate General Robert E. Lee falsely believed that the Union center was weak, when, in fact, the opposite was true.
