"Jubal Early -- Almost took Washington after leading a lightning cavalry expedition up the Shenandoah Valley."

Jubal Early kicked ass and took the entire Shenandoah valley during that expedition, and the only thing between him and Lincoln in the White House were union reinforcements from Richmond that got there in the nick of time. That's history you can verify for yourself.

Lincoln's first seven commanding Union Generals were largely inept, and then Lincoln came up with Sherman and Grant.
