Best Answer

He was appointed as an Army Commander before Lincoln had learned how to select good Generals to oppose him.

His early successes raised Confederate morale, and he looked as though he would be able to invade Pennsylvania - which the British regarded as the test of Confederate viability in their decision of whether to send military aid. (Only pure accident prevented this.)

It is accepted that Stonewall Jackson was the essential other half of Lee's talent - the perfectly matched duo. Jackson's death at Chancellorsville inhibited Lee's performance for the rest of the war.
