During Pickett's charge, there is a quick shot of Union artillery firing, and then in the next clip it shows some artillery shells exploding near a couple of couriers riding out to Pickett. The implication I think is that the artillery was trying to hit the messengers.
My question is - would artillery actually waste shots trying to hit riders a mile away? Or was this just dramatic directorial license.
