Remember, The Army of the Potomac went through 7 generals before ending up with Grant.The Army of Northern Virginia had one general under the command of Robert E Lee. The Army of Northern Virginia was divided into three districts: Aquia District,Potomac District and Valley District.The first commander of the Army of Northern Virginia was General P.G.T. Beauregard from June 20 to July 20, 1861.

“Hes thinking of Longstreet”
I suspect that he may be thinking of Hood, who commanded a division under Longstreet.
Hood repeatedly asked Longstreet to let him swing around Big Round Top and strike the Union left flank from the rear but Longstreet refused him, citing Lee’s orders.

Perhaps, but he is also remembered as forcing the frontal assault,(Picketts Charge) on the third day of Gettysburg.
Jackson wanted to flank..Lee said no.
Not sure what general you are thinking of, but Jackson had been killed at Chancellorsville two months before Gettysburg.
You are correct, my mistake. James Longstreet was, against his better judgment directed to mount a frontal assault..with predictable results.
