My favorite historical American is U.S. Grant. I also think he's the greatest military man the US ever produced.

That's my disclaimer. I'm getting so almighty tired of pusillanimous girly-men trying to erase the Confederate States of America from US history that I'm almost ready to get a Confederate Battle Flag and flying it in front of my home.

The Confederacy generated a litany of GREAT, GREAT role models if these gonadless, illiterate liberals would take five minutes and just read the history...just once...before trying to tear it all apart.

Sorry for the rant. These semi-virs want to tear it apart...that, and they can't read.

"My favorite historical American is U.S. Grant. I also think he's the greatest military man the US ever produced."

The chain of command that I would have liked to have seen would have been:
Army Commander - Robert E. Lee
Corps Commanders - Ulysses S. Grant, Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson, William T. Sherman, and James Longstreet
Overall Cavalry Commander - Philip Sheridan
Cavalry Brigade Commanders - Nathan B. Forrest, James H. Wilson, and John H. Morgan

With Confederate and Union infantry and artillery, we could have ruled the world.

You're welcome to him.

If Robert E. Lee had the access to the resources which Grant had, we would all be saying "Y'all" and drinking sweet tea.
