Re-Examining the Battle of Gettysburg
Manage episode 392798684 series 3318965
The Battle of Gettysburg is a pivotal event in the history of our country, but not broadly understood.
Attorney-turned-historian Allen R. Thompson digs into a Civil War controversy: How the decision-making of Generals Lee and Longstreet on July 2nd, 1863, resulted in the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg – and ultimately the loss of the war. In his book, In the Shadow of the Round Tops, Thompson compares eyewitness accounts to narratives formed after the war and shows how political and personal agendas have influenced the telling of history.
His deep research helps restore the reputation of General James Longstreet, Lee's second-in-command, who many historians have blamed for the Confederate defeat.
