Lee's most trusted commanders, expressed doubts about the assault on July 3, 1863. He recommended a flanking maneuver rather than a direct attack on the Union center. Following the charge, which led to significant Confederate casualties and a failure to breach Union lines, many historians and contemporaries cited Longstreet's reluctance and his emphasis on caution as contributing factors to the disastrous result.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"Lee"},{"right":"yes","answer":"Longstreet"},{"right":"no","answer":"Ewell"},{"right":"no","answer":"Hill"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1611,"title":"History of the United States","slug":"usa-history"},{"id":12,"title":"United States of America","slug":"united-states-of-america"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1538,"title":"The Battle of Gettysburg","slug":"battle-of-gettysburg"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/8216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=8216"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=8216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
