who is the leader that won the seven day battle civil war?
robert e. lee
in the summer of 1863, lee invaded the north again, marching through western maryland and into south central pennsylvania. he encountered union forces under george g. meade at the three-day battle of gettysburg in pennsylvania in july; the battle would produce the largest number of casualties in the american civil war. with some of his subordinates being new and inexperienced in their commands, j.e.b. stuart's cavalry being out of the area, and lee being slightly ill, he was less than comfortable with how events were unfolding. while the first day of battle was controlled by the confederates, key terrain that should have been taken by general ewell was not. the second day ended with the confederates unable to break the union position, and the union being more solidified. lee's decision on the third day, against the judgment of his best corps commander general longstreet, to launch a massive frontal assault on the center of the union line turned out to be disastrous. the assault known as pickett's charge was repulsed and resulted in heavy confederate losses. the general rode out to meet his retreating army and proclaimed, "all this has been my fault." lee was compelled to retreat. despite flooded rivers that blocked his retreat, he escaped meade's ineffective pursuit. following his defeat at gettysburg, lee sent a letter of resignation to president davis on august 8, 1863, but davis refused lee's request. that fall, lee and meade met again in two minor campaigns that did little to change the strategic standoff. the confederate army never fully recovered from the substantial losses incurred during the three-day battle in southern pennsylvania. the historian shelby foote stated, "gettysburg was the price the south paid for having robert e. lee as commander."
