What major US Civil War battles did Confederate General James Longstreet fight in?
General Robert E Lee and General James Longstreet were actually great friends, but at the Battle of Gettysburg they had a big disagreement on how to attack the Union Army which they had surrounded. Lee wanted to go with a frontal attack which was what the Union had been doing and failing at for the past 3 years. Longstreet wanted to take the defensive route and stay back and let them attack them. The frontal attack that Lee ordered was practically suicidal and began the end of the Confederacy. This battle proved that Lee was human and made mistakes just like everybody else. He admitted that he was wrong and even offered to resign as commander after the battle. Longstreet was ultimately right, but Longstreet remained good friends. That was the only real conflict known in history between General Longstreet and General Lee.
