What was the advice of Confederate Generals Longstreet and Alexander on General Lee's offensive tactics at the Battle of Gettysburg?

Experienced Confederate generals Longstreet and Alexander believed that General Lee's best tactical move on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg was to create a defensive line on Seminary Ridge. In their judgment, this would have compelled Union General Meade to attack the well established Rebel lines for both tactical reasons and for also political ones as well. It's clear that the presence of the Army of Northern Virginia established now as far north as Pennsylvania would demand offensive operations from the Army of the Potomac.
