Same Sh*t, Different Day.

I was looking at the history channel, and they had a program on the Battle of Antietam. Later that day they had another show on the battle of Gettysburg. It occurred to me that Lee and McClellen had made the exact same mistake. Attacking piecemeal, as opposed to attacking all in, putting pressure everywhere along the front at the same time. If Lee had attacked all along the front at once, the Reynolds wouldn't have had time to notice that Little Round Top was uncovered, and reinforce it. If McClellen had attacked all at once, A.P. Hill wouldn't had a chance to bring up reinforcements from Harpers Ferry.
