12: James Longstreet - Part 3 Manassas

2022-02-14

This episode covers Longstreet's performance in the following battles in the Eastern theatre:

- First Manassas

- Seven Pines

- Seven Day's Campaign

- Second Manassas

His poor performance at Seven Pines was followed-up by excellent performances in the following battles leading up the climactic battle of Second Manassas. The failures of McClellan and Pope made Lee, Jackson, and Longstreet instant heros in the 1862 South.
