>>Had Jackson been in charge of his old corps, he would have taken Culp’s Hill and Cemetary Hill, and the Confederates would have then dominated the position. He would have driven the men until they did it. Gettysburg was lost when Lee split Jackson’s corps a month or so before the battle between Ewell and A.P. Hill - two generals who are textbook examples of the Peter Principle.<<M
