I'm a big Grant and Sherman fan myself...

Grant owned Bobby Lee.....kicked his butt all over the south.

"Grant owned Bobby Lee.....kicked his butt all over the south."

You're barking, Dog, but that assertion has no teeth.

Considering what he had to work with, Lee performed astounding feats.

I have to disagree with you on that. By the time Grant took command of the Union Army, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia had been decimated by years of constant warfare and the Union troops had far superior weapons (repeating rifles, cartridge ammunition, etc...), yet Lee and his men still managed to give Grant many a bloody nose. At Cold Harbor, one of the few fairly evenly matched fights between Grant and Lee, Grant got his butt kicked, brutally and decisively.

North or South, Yankee or Reb, blue or gray, the Civil War will be a source of debate and discussion (some of it quite hostile at times) for years to come, as you can see from this topic thread.
