このコンテンツについて

In the summer of 1863, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia marches into Pennsylvania, aiming to deliver a knockout blow to Union morale. But what begins as a bold invasion unravels into the bloodiest battle of the Civil War—Gettysburg. Over three brutal days, Lee’s tactical genius clashes with flawed intelligence, missed opportunities, and the grim arithmetic of war.

This episode dissects the pivotal decisions that shaped the battle:

• The Price of Overconfidence: Lee’s belief in his army’s invincibility after Chancellorsville—and why he ignored Longstreet’s warnings.

• The Flank That Never Was: How J.E.B. Stuart’s absent cavalry and Longstreet’s delayed assault crippled Confederate chances.

• Pickett’s Charge: Glory or Futility? The doomed frontal attack that became a symbol of Southern hubris.

• The Roads Not Taken: What if Lee had listened to Longstreet’s defensive plan? Or flanked the Union left?
