Robert E. Lee was the overall commander of the Confederate Army but there were several other important Confederate generals. He fought successfully for years against Union invasions into Virginia but was not successful when he tried to invade the northern state of Pennsylvania.
Stonewall Jackson participated in the Battles of First Bull Run (or First Manassas, as it was known to the Confederates) and Chancellorsville and led troops in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. A.P. Hill led troops under Stonewall Jackson and took over his command when he was accidentally killed by a Confederate bullet during the Battle of Chancellorsville. Generals J.E.B. Stuart and Nathaniel Bedford Forrest commanded troops of cavalry. Joe Johnston, Jubal Early and Braxton Bragg were other famous Confederate generals.

∙ 14y agoUnlike the Union forces in the American Civil War the Confederate Army did not have an overall uniformed military commander until the last 3 months of the conflict (February 1865) when General Robert E Lee was put in that position. Before then overall Confederate strategy was in the hands of Jefferson Davis, President of the CSA, a West Point graduate and former Secretary of War for the United States
