This biography of Confederate General James Longstreet, who later embraced Reconstruction and became an outcast in the South, is a significant political shift in American history. During the Civil War, Longstreet fought alongside Lee and won a Confederate victory at Chickamauga. After the war, he changed course and joined the integrated postwar government in New Orleans. Despite his high rank, Longstreet has never been commemorated due to his postwar actions.
