Top Ten American Civil War Generals

I remember when he surrendered to Grant. Don't get me wrong, Grant is a fantastic General, but he is nothing compared to Lee. When forced to surrender, Lee, being the gentleman he is, is dressed in his finest uniform, and brings a golden sword as a peace offering. general Grant shows up, with mud all over his uniform, and lights a cigar. It's not just his good manners that makes Lee superior to Grant. To think about it, the Union had way more supplies, ammunition, weapons, and soldiers than the Confederacy, and the Confederacy came THIS CLOSE to winning. They couldn't have done it without a fantastic leader. - Alpha101

Possibly the best military tactician in history. Patriot, statesman, warrior and educator! Honest God fearing man much maligned by dishonest Yankees of today. Not so by his contemporaries on both sides! We still love you Bobby Lee!

I actually think he was one of the best military commanders in history. He is definitely someone to honor and respect.

Won I believe 49/51 battles during the Civil War. Enough said.

Yes, but you failed to mention that he was one of the WORST presidents. - Alpha101
