What Confederate general had the highest confidence in the tactical offense?
ChuckSiata
Most historians cite Confederate General John Bell Hood as the most offensive minded general in the South. As a subordinate commander he fought aggressively at battles such as Gaine's Mill, Antietam and Gettysburg. When he lead the Army of Tennessee he also sought offensive tactics as the means to victory. When his army was at its weakest, he was forced to use defensive tactics to survive.
