Answer 2

A. It was defensive measure by Robert E. Lee is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pickett's charge took place on July 3, 1863 . It was infantry assault that was ordered by confederate general Robert E. Lee against George G Meade's positions. It was predicted to be use less by General James Longstreet as it was a big military mistake and the southern war effort was never really able to recover from it. The farthest position that the confederate soldiers reached is usually referred as high water mark of the Confederacy. This charge was named after confederate Major Gen,. George Pickett.
