Who were the confederate generals at Gettysburg during the Civil War?
The overall Confederate commander was General Robert E. Lee. After the previous battle, Chancellorsville, two months earlier, which saw the mortal wounding of Stonewall Jackson, Lee had reorganized his army. Instead of two army corps, now there were three. The First Corps continued under the command of Lieutenant General James Longstreet. The Second Corps was now under the command of Lieutenant General Richard S. Ewell, replacing Jackson. Ewell had previously been a division commander but had been absent from the army for almost a year, after losing a leg at the Second Battle of Manassas. The new Third Corps was under the command of A. P. Hill, previously a division commander. Each of the three corps had three divisions. The division commanders in Longstreet's Corps were Major Generals Lafayette McLaws, George Pickett, and John B. Hood (who was wounded during the Battle of Gettysburg and replaced by Brigadier General Evander M. Law). In Ewell's Second Corp the division commanders were Major Generals Jubal A. Early, Edward Johnson and Robert E. Rodes. In Hill's Third Corps the division commanders were Major Generals Richard H. Anderson, Henry Heth, (who was wounded during the battle and replaced by Brigadier General James J. Pettigrew, who was also wounded), and William D. Pender, who was mortally wounded and temporarily replaced by Brigadier General James Lane; Lane was then superceded by Major General Isaac Trimble who had accompanied the army to Pennsylvania as a supernumerary, without a command, and who was wounded and captured on the last day of the battle, leaving the division command once more with Lane. Each division had within it several brigades, each of which was usually under the command of a one star brigadier general. See the "Related Link" below, for a complete Order of Battle of Confederate forces at Gettysburg, including brigade commanders, and the commanders of each regiment within those brigades. The Cavalry Division was very large, six brigades, and was commanded by Major General J. E. B. Stuart. There was also Imboden's Command of cavalry, basically an additional brigade, under Brigadier General John D. Imboden.
