“In a military sense, the South never paid enough attention to the Western Theater of Operations. “
Part of that is surely due to the untimely loss of Albert Sydney Johnston at Shiloh- Johnston was considered by many to be as fine a commander as Lee.

I always thought that Johnston was not appreciated by Jeff Davis because of his unpopular-at-HQ Fabian tactics ... which given what he had to work with and facing the odds ... were probably the best way to go against the Yankees.
Turning it all over to the aggressive (impetuous?) Hood ... who was not at his best ... just about finished the Confederacy in the West.
