Longstreet's plan
The further into Killer Angels I get, and at the moment I am only beginning the second day's battles, the more I have to think that Longstreet had the best battle plan for the confederacy. Once the Union became entrenched the best thing for the Confederacy would have been to circle around and get between them Union Corps and Washington. The Confederacy, especially in the South, had been very successful when they stuck to their strong defensive strategies. I am not sure I completely understand or agree with moving away from what had made them so successful.

I agree with you that Longstreets plan was propably the best. It amazes me the loyalty he had towards Lee. I don't think we see that kind of loyalty today.
