I was avoiding this subject as long as I could because it’s probably the one I know the most about, and most passionate about. It is hard for me to detach my emotions from the Civil War, but I will try.

I won’t answer this as there was one great general…..I suppose that title goes to Lee if I have to choose only one, but even Lee had some help becoming the icon he did.

Best Tactician………Stonewall Jackson
Most Visionary……..James Longstreet
Saw the big picture……..Ulysses S. Grant
Best administrator……Kirby Smith
Most brutal…….William T. Sherman
Best defensive……George Thomas (the Rock of Chickamauga)
Covered most ground……..John Hunt Morgan
Most gallant……..George Pickett
Best offensive……Richard Taylor/Phillip Sheridan (tie)
Most patient…….Gordon Meade
Most underated……Sterling Price

Now the worst categories:

Worst tactician………Ambrose Burnside
Most wasteful……..George MacCllelan
Most foolhearty……..John Bell Hood
Most criminal……William Quantrell
Most mediocre……Braxton Bragg
Most passive…….Joseph E. Johnston
Most unlucky……John Pemberton

Yea I think Donald's list says it all.
