1. He was a general in the american civil war. 2. He lead an infamous charge. 3. He was a southern general. My first guess would've been the guy who told his men to rush into the craters.

I would rather say it was Lee's subordinate George Pickett. [...] Lol, what was I thinking? All I can do now is to cry at my mistake ;-; Hopefully I don't make these mistakes again.

Well, it was not a mistake technically speaking Order was given by Lee himself if i'm not mistaken And he is responsible after all

Exactly! ...At the age of twelve, he ordered a carpenter's bench and mastered the use of axes, chisels, hammers and nails. He became a stonemason. He learned the delicate business of turning a lathe and became an excellent turner in wood and later in ivory. He learned how type was set and books were bound. He loved the clang of hammers on glowing red iron in the blacksmith's shop. .. ...Every day, Peter arrived at the shipyard at dawn, carrying his axe and tools on his shoulders as the other workmen did. He allowed no distinction between himself and them, and strictly refused to be addressed or identified by any title. In his afternoon leisure hours, he liked sitting on a log, talking to sailors or shipbuilders or anyone who addressed him as "Carpenter Peter" or "Baas [Master] Peter." He ignored or turned away from anyone who addressed him as "Your Majesty" or "Sire." When two English noblemen came to catch a glimpse of the Tsar of Muscovy working as a laborer, the foreman, in order to point out which one was Peter, called to him "Carpenter Peter, why don't you help your comrades?" Without a word, Peter walked over and put his shoulder beneath a timber which several men were struggling to raise and helped lift it into place. .. PETER THE GREAT His Life and World Robert K. Massie

The new question:
An scientist in the 19th century, this person made many important discoveries in the field of electricity and magnetism, despite starting his education quite late in his life (therefore he used visual models more often than mathematical models). He has an SI unit named after himself.
