Did the CONFEDERACY Have BETTER GENERALS?!?!?!
Checkmate, Lincolnites! · Season 1 · Episode 7
Episode 7 of Checkmate, Lincolnites! Debunking Lost Cause myths – as well as more benign common misconceptions – about the military leadership of the Civil War. Did the South really have all the best battlefield talent? Was the key to Union victory a simple strategy of overwhelming the Confederate army with numbers and resources? Who was better at their job, Ulysses S. Grant or Robert E. Lee? I'd say watch and find out, but the answer is obviously Grant.
