I have walked Culps HillMy ancestors in the 33rd Virginia Infantry were engaged at Culp's Hill on the 3rd and took 27% causalities.
Culp's Hill - Wikipedia
At Mine Run and later at Cold Harbor the Yankees pinned-on scraps of paper with their name and the address of their families written upon them.Reading the HX , there are many points where those troops knew they were to engage in a major battle, where their odds where slim

Hood? I guess you mean Stewart.Hood was supposed to provide recon. And decided to chase Armstrong's wagons. If the south would have won I wonder if there would have been a trial.
No. It was an easy conclusion even before he sent Pickett’s army to their destruction.
Agreed.Huge mistake by Lee.
Correct it was StewartHood? I guess you mean Stewart.
Hood was wounded by shrapnel early on in the assault upon Little Round Top.
The Union would have withdrawn to fight another dayAgreed.
Lee should have continued to avoid a major battle and ransacked Pennsylvania, until he found the right spot to fight.
Once he got to Gettysburg, seeing how the Union Army occupied the high ground, he should have withdrawn.
However had Longstreet attacked Little Round Top when first told to, the CSA might have succeeded.
True but winning another major battle, might have brought assistance from the UK. No one knows.The Union would have withdrawn to fight another day
That’s another thing that should have resulted in Lee withdrawing from a fight at Gettysburg. He was without Stuart.Correct it was Stewart

Lee took MULTIPLE risks at Chancellorsville that worked out, and deployed arrogantly.Agreed.
