No. Lee does not know that the Federal left extends all the way to Little Round Top. Lee plans to attack,Northeast,up the Emmitsburg road,toward Cemetary Hill. Had Sickles obeyed orders,Lee would have exposed his right flank to an attack from Sickles,etal. from Cemetary Ridge. Further,Lee would have come under fire from all the Federal batteries on Cemetary Ridge. The Federal position was discovered because Sickles advanced his troops. The other generals did not believe Sickles qualified to be a Major General because Sickles had no millitary education,not because it was a "club thing". Sickles proved them right by disobeying orders and not understanding the consequences of his advanced position.
