I thought James Longstreet was born in South Carolina and moved to Georgia at a young age?
This is a statement from chapter 1 of the book in question. Is this a factual statement?
I have always thought one was a native of where they were born, but perhaps I have always been wrong...........lol
Longstreet, a native of Georgia, had transplanted himself to Alabama in order to obtain an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point in the class of 1842.
