man was Pickett's charge dumb. yikes. way to blow like 20,000+ men Confederates. watching that first film on the battle of Gettysburg when the Confederate unit started out with like 600 men and then at the end of the war there was only 3 left. that is unreal.
I don't think Pickett's Charge was dumb necessarily. It was just overconfidence on Lee's part. He probably thought he could win again this time. He had already beaten the Army of the Potomac at almost every battle for the last year.
