Confederate General A.P. Hill No.2
A native Virginian, Hill was a career officer in the U.S. Army who had fought in the Mexican-American War and Seminole Wars before joining the Confederate Army. Hill gained early fame as the commander of the “Light Division” in the Seven Days Battles. He became one of Confederate General “Stonewall” Jackson’s ablest officers, distinguishing himself in the 1862 battles of Cedar Mountain, Second Bull Run, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. Following Jackson’s death in May 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville, Hill was promoted to Lieutenant General and commanded the Third Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, which he led in the summer Gettysburg Campaign and the fall campaigns of 1863. He was killed during the Union’s offensive at the Third Battle of Petersburg.

Confederate General James Longstreet
One of General Robert E. Lee’s most trusted corps commanders, James Longstreet earned a reputation as the “Old War Horse” for his steadfastness under pressure and his mastery of defensive warfare. A graduate of West Point and a veteran of the Mexican-American War, Longstreet brought a methodical, deliberate style to the Confederate high command. He played critical roles in key victories at Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, and Chickamauga, where his leadership helped deliver one of the Confederacy’s last major triumphs in the West. At Gettysburg, he reluctantly led the controversial assault on the Union center—Pickett’s Charge—despite his tactical reservations. After the war, Longstreet’s decision to support Reconstruction and join the Republican Party made him a pariah among former Confederates, but history remembers him as one of the most capable and forward-thinking generals of the Southern cause.
