Question

On July 3, 1863, Robert E. Lee sent 14,000 men under the command of which general into a desperate frontal assault against the Union lines along Cemetery Ridge at the Gettysburg battlefield?

Answer 1

George Pickett

Explanation:

• The Pickett's charge was an infantry attack on the North by the forces of the North during the Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War, July 3, 1863. The attack ended with the failure and heavy casualties of the South, virtually deciding the outcome of the battle in favor of the North. Pickett's assault is considered one of the biggest mistakes in General Robert Lee's military career.
• The furthest point conquered by the troops of the South was therefore called the "high-water mark of the Confederacy," because the loss of the Battle of Gettysburg marked the beginning of the sure collapse of the Confederacy of the United States of America.
• The attack is named after Major General George Pickett, one of 3 South officers under Gen. James Longstreet who led the attack.
