But in every battle won, Lee lost a greater percentage of his resources than his opponents.

At Fredericksburg, Lee lost 6% of his forces while Burnside lost 11% of his.

Perhaps I sould have qualified my "every" with "most". But the point remains valid. Of all commanders during the war, Lee had the highest overall percent of losses.
