Well - he was actually a pretty poor general. But an honorable man.

If Stonewall Jackson had been in charge the South would have won the war.

Jackson?

He was fragged by his own troops after the found out about his pervy dalliances with Janie Wellford Corbin.

Clearly he was a crappy general. How else could his rep. as one of history’s greatest generals have survived for so long. Duh!

The south might have won the war in 1862 but for Jackson's terrible showing in the Seven Days Battles. Jackson could not get along with his fellow generals and could naver have been more than a corps commander IMO.

I don’t suppose you have any evidence to support that statement do you?

And don’t say: “he lost”. Had Lee been in Grants position the war would not have lasted as long as it did.

The battle of Chancellorsville says you are wrong. No general ever did more with less than Lee
