You'd think the very able Confederate commanders would have figured out the lessons of the Battle of Bunker Hill (the British lost over 1,000 soldiers in taking Breed's Hill) and NOT do a direct frontal attack on enemy position that had a major height and sight advantage over the attackers.

You's think that any commander would have figured out the lessons, especially considering how he slaughtered his own troops on the slope at Malvern Hill a little over a year before, and had massacred the Federal Troops storming is army on Marye's Heights outside of Fredericksburg the previous December.
