Who was the general who led confederate us army in civil?
At the time there were several generals who led various parts of the confederate army during the civil war. In the case of battles where multiple generals were on the field, each general would still be in charge of their component part of the army but would take orders from someone who was appointed as the head general. A couple of generals who would be considered to be head generals would be Jackson and Lee. General Lee was the confederate general in charge at the Battle of Gettysburg even though there were another half dozen generals also there. After battles such as this, the Americans started to bring in a system where generals could outrank other generals in the field. This eventually became the basis for the 5 star rankings of generals where only one 5 star general would be posted in the field of battle in order to stop confusion between like starred generals.
