Lee was a better General. Ask anyone that went to West Point.

Seems he thought so --maybe until Gettysburg and Pickett.

As I said, ask a WEST POINT GRADUATE.

As for Pickett's Charge, that was a sound plan. Lee had been repulsed on both flanks of the Union Line. Strategy assumed the Federal Line would be weakest at the center.

The charge wasn't executed properly by Longstreet.
