[KC Burke]

For infantry that today we might call “light” due to sizing and horsed support that old hand-in-the-air Presbyterian was a slave driver of troops without equal as well.

The south had the field commanders that’s for sure. On the Union side the list is short but there are a few. Sherman, Sheridan, Chamberlin and the “Rock of Chickamauga” come readily to mind.

Both sides had junior officers and infantry brave beyond belief.

Both sides had a good number of fools and scroundrals.

I would rate it this way:

1. Artillery: Without question Union artillery was superior in every way. It was feared by Confederate Infantry for good reason.
2. Cavalry: Confederate Cavalry was superior, but waned towards the end.
3. Infantry: - tie.
