Also, in the east, I don’t consider many of the Union Generals incompetent. McClellan for example, was excellent at organization. He simply wasn’t utilized correctly. McDowell was decent, but he underestimated the enemy.

And no matter how good they were, the combination of Lee and Jackson were unbeatable.

Hooker? Burnside? Butler? Pope?

Until your side shot half of them.
