Joe Stanley · Answer 2

The correct answer is C) he figured Union positions were too strong.

Longstreet urged Lee not to continue the Battle in Gettysburg in that he figured Union positions were too strong.

Longstreet knew that the Union Army had a much better position than the Confederates. He posed the alternative to back down a little and attack Washington, forcing the Union Army to defend this position. The Battle of Gettysburg, Virginia was fouth from July 1 to the 3rd, 1863. The victory of the Union after three days of bloody battle represented a great step for the Union to win the War.

The other options of the question were A) he thought the South would win too easily. B) he wanted a big win on Confederated Soil. D) he wanted to be the one who led the battle.
