Did the CONFEDERACY Have BETTER GENERALS?!?!?!
Air date: 04/Jul/2021 · Runtime: 50 min
Summary

Episode 7 of Checkmate, Lincolnites! Debunking Lost Cause myths – as well as more benign common misconceptions – about the military leadership of the Civil War.

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.
