‘Except for the part about being outnumbered two or three to one, ‘
btw, that was accurate, and it was closer to ‘3 - 1’.
Hardly. Army sizes for the battle are all over the board. Confederate estimates run from 35,000 to 50,000 with 45,000 being the most commonly quoted size. Union army runs from 80,000 to over 100,000 with somewhere between 85,000 and 90,000 probably being the most accurate. No way it was 3-to-1.
