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.

How did Confederate General Braxton Bragg weaken the impact of his victory at Chickamauga in 1863?

The victory of Confederate General Braxton Bragg at Chickamauga was a serious set back for the Union in September of 1863. The value of his victory, however, was lessened by his slow follow up against a weakened Union army. Bragg's delay gave the Federals time to reorganize and fortify the railroad center at Chattanooga.

Why did former Confederate Lieutenant General James Longstreet travel to Washington DC after the US Civil War was overS?

After the US Civil War had ended, former Confederate Lieutenant General James Longstreet traveled to Washington DC to follow up on the written application for a pardon from the US government. Due to the significant war operations Longstreet made as a high ranking Confederate general, he was required to file an appeal for an official pardon. His actions against the US government were a serious breach of loyalty he once had as a West Point graduate (USMA ) and the oath he had taken when he was a Federal officer.

What was Grant's biggest mistake?

He said it was the big assault at Coldharbour, which failed with high casualties. There was a more serious error of judgment a month later at Petersburg, when he failed to authorise and supervise the mining and exploding of Confederate positions - the Battle of the Crater. This could have ended the war in one day, and it failed abysmally.
