A far better Virginian General was George Thomas:

A Virginian who stayed Loyal to America against the petulant whineybabies who were too lazy to pick their own cotton.

He not only never lost a battle in which he was in charge, but in those battles he completely annihilated the enemy.

He not only never lost a battle in which he was in charge, but in those battles he completely annihilated the enemy.

Considering: (1) He lead in only 8 battles (2) His entire CW career was in the Western Theater (3) 90% of Confederate resources were in Eastern theatre.

You know, if the New York Yankees played my local high school team 8 times, they'd win 8 times. Calling a general better than Lee is laughable considering he never met the likes of Lee, Jackson, Longstreet etc.

This thread has become a revisionist love fest.
