Lafayette McLaws (1821-1897)
Lafayette McLaws was a major general in the Confederate Army. He was appointed brigadier general in September 1861. He fought at Yorktown and was promoted to major general in May 1862. Longstreet relieved him of his command for lack of cooperation. McLaws insisted on a court-martial and was vindicated, thereby humiliating Longstreet.
