lee and james longstreet. when they were core commanders in 1862 and early 1863, lee went with longstreet. lee and longstreet argued. lee and longstreet debated. this was unfathomable because when lee gave jackson orders, jackson went off and followed. when jackson told you where you are going -- [laughter] phillip: you followed. there is a reason lee went with longstreet. longstreet lost a few children to this disease. he liked to gamble, he liked to joke, he was a fun, jovial guy. he had officers who liked to joke. jackson, though, you could probably hear a pin drop at his headquarters. his chief of staff, his father, all staunch episcopalians. that direction. but of course, longstreet had the nerve to say that lee is partly to blame for gettysburg. he also had the nerve to take a republican position as a port collector in new orleans. and he also had the audacity to kind of write what he remembered, and unfortunately adding fuel to the fire. so james longstreet, by 1927, as one of the first photos showed, i

simon buckner and james longstreet. they all end up in new orleans. you have this tumultuous place. where you have this very proud class of african-americans who are going to be in court all the time, litigating their new rights. that's going to lead to the plessy decision. and you have other people forcefully trying to deny them. louisiana had the military arm of the democratic party and the crescent city white league. amidst all of this over what's going to happen with reconstruction, three of the greatest -- of the 19th century 14th amendment cases emerge. >> next caller is barry from alabama. you're on. >> caller: this question is for mr. clement. outstanding supreme court lawyer. you said earlier that justice campbell argued in the slaughterhouse cases -- and i may have misunderstood you -- about how many justices did that. my recollection is that they argued after he stepped down from the court. he represented puerto rico in a case before the supreme court. he may have died right before the decision was handed down. am i correct or wrong? >> you know, i think you may well be c

james long street. let's focus the civil war on the army of northern virginia. so, it starts to frame the lost cause around to the war in virginia. because longstreet has a controversial nature of various aspects of his role in the war in virginia, longstreet is not an easy fit. some of the old rivalries for command seem to come up in the postwar writings and things like that. gettysburg, of course, being the longest poll in the tent, if you will. it also frames the discussion in this way. "we weren't wrong, we were just beaten by too many men." heg street and the fact that took some the political actions that he did put himself further outside the pale. so, that -- longstreet was always a bit of an outsider anyway with his focus on lee and the army and virginia. because of what he does afterward, it just sharpens the discussion even further. as for longstreet's counsel to lee, when some people are saying we should just break up into guerrilla warfare,, he says that it is morally courageous and i think the man did his duty. this is true in a corporate setting. there are times when you have to save the boss from himself or herself. there are times a
