Read my post earlier. Lee didn't realize (at Gettysburg) that the center had been reinforced.

Dumb as well as bloodthirsty?

You know, NS....I have always had great respect for you, even though we disagree. Why is it you insist on acting like a jack*ss, when I am trying to have a cordial debate?

You have always seemed to hate Lee. Lee was many things, but bloodthirsty wasn't one of them, and you degrade yourself when you stoop to a low-tactic of insulting the memory of the greatest General in US History. (and by the way, not just my opinion, but WEST POINTS!) Lee never willingly sent men into overwhelming odds, unless there was a reasonable chance of success. He simply made an error at Gettysburg. One that could have been brought on by Advanced Heart Disease, which could have been giving him mini-strokes. (one modern theory).
