Hills Corp was also exhausted and licking its wounds after fighting all day July 1

Before Jackson’s demise in may the army was 2 corps Jackson and Longstreet by July everything had shifted to 3 corps Ewell had one leg and had to be carried off a horse AP hill was probably in the same shape from his younger escapades neither had ever experienced corps command as before they were divisional commanders the only real corps commander Lee had was Longstreet and he didn’t take his advise
