Gettysburg would have been different if Jackson had been there instead of Ewell
Oh Dear God, not this stuff again.
I’ve heard this line all my life, mostly from Southerners, but occasionally someone else. I’ve read as much about Gettysburg, and spent as much time on the battlefield as anybody who isn’t a paid historian.
The line about Jackson winning Gettysburg displays a great lack of knowledge about the tactical situation the Confederate Army faced during the invasion of Pennsylvania.
Especially given the lack of effective Rebel intelligence at Gettysburg. Not trying to sound like an azzhole, just stating a simple fact.
