What tactics did Confederate General James Longstreet employ rout Federal troops at the Battle of Chickamaugua in 1863?
Many historians cite the assault made by Confederate General James Longstreet as one of the most famous ones in the US Civil War. Longstreet employed the standard column formation to break the center of the Union lines. It resulted in driving the Federal center and right formations from the battlefield. Part of Longstreet's success was due to the depth of his columns. The Federals granted the proper respect for Longstreet's success, but often added that there was a bit of luck involved.By a stroke of bad luck for the Federals, Union General Thomas Wood's division pulled out of its defensive line just as Longstreet's troops attacked the Union lines.
