Ummm, Joe Johnston was pretty good. Stuart was exceptional, except for his propensity to do his own thing. Lee's artilleryman was better than anyone in the Union.

You can cite more Union guys because, ultimately, they had a bigger army. But I don't see you citing Hooker, Burnside, McDowell, or some of the inept commanders in Tennessee. But we'll call it a draw.

Joe Johnston split the win at First Bull Run and it was all down hill from there, probably because Davis couldn't stand him. And I don't see you citing Bragg, Hood, Polk or other inept confederate corps and army commanders.
