Editing James Longstreet (section)

===Memorials===
Longstreet is remembered in his hometown of Gainesville, Georgia, through the Longstreet Bridge, a portion of [[U.S. Route 129]] that crosses the [[Chattahoochee River]] (later dammed to form [[Lake Sidney Lanier]]), and the Longstreet Chapter of the [[United Daughters of the Confederacy]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/meta/html/dlg/vang/meta_dlg_vang_hal281.html? |title=[Photograph of relatives of General James Longstreet at the dedication of the Longstreet Bridge, Hall County, Georgia, 1935 ] |publisher=Digital Library of Georgia |access-date=August 16, 2021 |archive-date=August 16, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210816144646/http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/meta/html/dlg/vang/meta_dlg_vang_hal281.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.gainesvilletimes.com/news/old-joes-history-complicated-current-debate/ |title=Old Joe's history as complicated as current debate |last=Bowman |first=Nick |date=August 28, 2017 |newspaper=The Gainesville Times |access-date=August 16, 2021}}</ref> In 1998, one of the last monuments erected at [[Gettysburg Battlefield|Gettysburg National Military Park]] was dedicated to Longstreet: an equestrian statue by sculptor [[Gary Casteel]]. The monument was funded through a grassroots campaign, and is one of the only Confederate monuments in the park "not paid for by taxpayers in the states of the former Confederacy."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Holmes |first=Steven A. |date=August 23, 2017 |title=Where are the monuments to Confederate Gen.

These two monuments are the only two memorials to Longstreet, whereas there were once more statues of [[Nathan Bedford Forrest]] in Tennessee than there were of U.S. President [[Andrew Jackson]]. At least one historian attributes this to Longstreet's defense of the "rights of the freedmen and women" whereas Forrest was considered the "avenging angel" of American white supremacy and the Lost Cause myth.{{sfn|Whitfield|2021|pp=167–168}}

Longstreet's Billet, the house in [[Russellville, Tennessee]], that was occupied by Longstreet in the winter of 1863–64, is now The Longstreet Museum.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.longstreetmuseum.com/|title=General James Longstreet's Headquarters, winter of 1863–1864|website=General Longstreet Headquarters Museum|access-date=December 29, 2019|archive-date=December 18, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191218235308/http://www.longstreetmuseum.com/|url-status=live}}</ref>
