Its wasn't Lee who ordered Pickett to counterattack, it was Longstreet. Longstrret knew the attack would fail and could not vocalize the order. When Pickett went to Longstreet and asked if he should start his advance, all Longstreet could do was nod his head. Pickett, let out a yell and headed for his men.
