"Major General Reynolds, who was in command of our forces, was tragically killed during this intense fighting".....that is not the words of Lee....It can't be.
There are many similarities between Napoleon's battle tactics at Waterloo and R. E. Lee's strategy at Gettysburg. Both battles by account began with a battery of artillery bombarding the enemy's lines to try to soften them up, diversionary attacks on the left/right and followed by an attack on the center. Both battles effectively ended with failed frontal charges that were repulsed and then counterattacked on with devastating losses. Both defenders Meade and the Duke of Wellington prepared well placed defenses and chose their terrain carefully to give them defensive advantages Meade on the ridge protected by stone walls forcing the confederates to charge up and across open field, Wellington on the reverse slope to weather Napoleon's cannons. Even the motives of the two attackers were similar. Napoleon had to force a decisive victory against Wellington to try to bring the Coalition to heel and prevent them from coming after him as a united front. Then he would be able to force peace terms on the Coalition. Lee tried to force a decisive victory to raid the North and hopefully receive favorable peace terms from a unprotected Washington. R. E. Lee did not learn from the mistakes of Napoleon since he lost Gettysburg in a very similar fashion to Napoleon, while employing much of the same tactics artillery bombard the center, attempted diversionary attacks on the sides of the line, then the fatal frontal assault in the center ?
Bloody Bill Anderson was not at Gettysburg either. Nor, as it happens, the by then dead Stonewall Jackson, pictured at least twice. Not encouraging chaps.

That's Joseph E Johnston you picture at 9:10 min. He was not at Gettysburg. You want division commander Major General Edward Allegheny Johnson.

1:36 I've never before seen a picture of Lee wearing a tuxedo.
I missed the passage where he says, “I got whupped.”
It's well done sir
Stuart. Not Anderson
Who is Penda? I hope you mean Pender.
The lack of Barbers is apparent! LOL
