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.
What famous college did Confederate General James Longstreet use as his headquarters in 1862?
With the fall of Yorktown on May 3, 1862, the Confederates were in a mass retreat as Union forces under the command of Major General George B. McClellan began their pursuit of the Confederates. The Rebels were under heavy fire and a courier sought out General Longstreet in order to have him send reinforcements to aid General Magruder. The courier located Longstreet where he had made his headquarters at the College of William and Mary. As an aside, the College of William and Mary is the second oldest college in the US. It was founded in Williamsburg, Virginia in 1693. It was the first college to create a law school.

What tactics did Confederate General James Longstreet employ rout Federal troops at the Battle of Chickamaugua in 1863?
Many historians cite the assault made by Confederate General James Longstreet as one of the most famous ones in the US Civil War. Longstreet employed the standard column formation to break the center of the Union lines. It resulted in driving the Federal center and right formations from the battlefield. Part of Longstreet's success was due to the depth of his columns. The Federals granted the proper respect for Longstreet's success, but often added that there was a bit of luck involved.By a stroke of bad luck for the Federals, Union General Thomas Wood's division pulled out of its defensive line just as Longstreet's troops attacked the Union lines.

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.
