YOU DEAL WITH IT!

Just because Grant "won", doesn't mean a damn thing!
Lee was a better General. Ask anyone that went to West Point.

Seems he thought so --maybe until Gettysburg and Pickett.

Here's an honest question:

Was Lee a great general or was it Stonewall Jackson who made him look great?

My understanding is that Pickett never forgave him for that suicidal charge at Gettysburg after the war.
