Not only did Sickles violate Meade’s order in how he mis-deployed his III Corps troops, but he spent much time and energy in years after maligning Meade and falsely presenting himself as the savior of the Union army at Gettysburg. Many years later he was removed from the NY “Monuments Commission” for embezzling funds raised for war memorials.
He was an all-around scoundrel but brave in battle. Lacking in ethics and judgment for just about any era....
And apparently lived to age 94.
