General George Edward Pickett was a Confederate general during the Civil War. He's best known for leading Picket's Charge in the Battle of Gettysburg. General Pickett was also known to be a bit of a dandy, wearing immaculately tailor uniforms, and sporting an upswept mustache, and long, flowing perfumed hair.
Well, he is a Confederae general so... PROBABLY! Probably not. It is a known fact that Pickett did not like slavery. He was probably the most anti-slavery senior commander in the CSA. He mainly joined the CSA, because he wanted to remain loyal state (Virginia), over the United States.
George Pickett failed to protect Five Forks primarily due to a lack of adequate intelligence and preparation. His forces were outnumbered and caught off guard by Philip Sheridan's well-coordinated attack, which exploited weaknesses in Pickett's defenses. Additionally, Pickett's troops were fatigued and demoralized from previous engagements, further hindering their ability to respond effectively to the assault. Ultimately, these factors combined led to the Confederate defeat at Five Forks.
