Guy I worked with calls General Robert E. Lee the greatest general that ever lived.

And is that a factually untrue statement? Are you able to refute it? Doesn't matter what side he fought on; perhaps he was, indeed, the greatest general!

Regards,

I doubt it. Compared to General Washington, General Napoleon Bonaparte, Genghis Khan. Nah...Lee was a great military leader but he paled in comparison to other military strategists who were brilliant standouts that conquered nations.
