Best Answer

General Longstreet's divisions were the lead force against the Union center on July 3, 1863. The battle is generally known as Pickett's charge; General Pickett was one of three generals under Longstreet. Pickett's forces received the heaviest beating. Asked why his forces were defeated in the attack, many years later, Pickett was quoted as replying dryly, "I always thought the Yankees had something to do with it."
