Frontal assaults during the CW were suicide period.
Hood & Pickett didn’t have a chance at Gettysburg.
Burnside didn’t have a chance at Fredericksburg.
Sherman went bust at Kennesaw Mountain.
Grant’s frontal assaults at Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor were in vain.
You mean Lee didn’t stand a chance at Gettysburg didn’t you.
the decision for that attack was not made by either General Hood or Picket. The order for the frontal assault was given by General Lee. Even though his best, most experienced Corps Commander, General Longstreet, advised him “no 12,000 men arrayed for battle could take that hill.” Lees frontal assault on Cemetery Ridge was in vain.
