Which Confederate general led McLaws' Division at Gettysburg?

Lafayette McLaws led McLaws' Division at Gettysburg.

McLaws was a major general in the Army of Northern Virginia and commanded one of the three divisions in Lieutenant General James Longstreet's First Corps. His division included the brigades of Joseph B. Kershaw, William Barksdale, and Paul Semmes.

On July 2, 1863, McLaws's Division took part in Longstreet's major assault against the Union left. Its troops fought at the Wheatfield, the Peach Orchard, and nearby positions along the Union line. Barksdale's Mississippi brigade made a powerful advance but suffered severe losses, and Barksdale was mortally wounded.

The alternatives are commanders from other formations. Richard H. Anderson commanded a division in A. P. Hill's Third Corps, while George Pickett and John Bell Hood led other divisions in Longstreet's First Corps. McLaws' Division is therefore named for its commander, Lafayette McLaws.
