Longstreet? Nope, he had a successful career after the war.

Back in the 70’s, I was in the NY monument on the top of Round Top by the General Warren Statue, it was shortly after July 4th. It’s still the most peaceful memory of well being I ever had. It was late afternoon, I took shelter in the monument from the rain and watched the thunder storm as it passed over the battlefield. There was a cool fresh gentle breeze after the storm. I looked out on the battlefield and remembered, that there was a storm after the battle. It must have been God shedding tears. All the wars we were in none cost as many lives as the one America fought against itself. Lets not hope for another one.
