You are absolutely right. Lee was a genius. The man did not have not resources(in both men and material)like the Army of the Potomac but he was able to achieve many things with the meager resources he had.The key to victory is able to keep the morale of your men high and being there with them on the battlefield.Patton and MacArthur are very good examples of this . They were present as the battle was in progress and make battlefield decisions including sharing the drama of battle.Another key to victory is taking calculated risks and bringing the war to the enemy. Lee did that on numerous occasions. Patton, and MacArthur did this also.
