The one he teamed-up best with was T.J. "Stonewall" Jackson.
When Stonewall was killed at Chancellorsville, neither Lee nor his army was ever the same again. It may be no coincidence that Lee's health started to fail from this time, perhaps psychosomatic.
Thomas Jackson was his best general. ----
Lee worked most effectively with Stonewall Jackson, an eccentric genius, not popular with his men, and possibly a victim of assassination. The Army of Northern Virginia was never so effective after that.
James Longstreet might qualify for the title, but his reputation suffered when he was blamed for the Gettysburg defeat.

∙ 11y agoI take this to mean "In what way was Lee the best general in America?"
He was one of the few top generals who had the quality of human greatness, as opposed to just talent, drive and luck.
He inspired his men with the nobility of the cause, and they stuck with him to the end, barefoot and starving, even when there was no hope of victory.
Lee called Stonewall Jackson "his right arm," making him Lee's best subordinate general.

∙ 8y agoMost historians agree that Robert E. Lee's best general was Stonewall Jackson. He was a smart and bold general. His death due to friendly fire at Chancellorsville, was a severe blow to the Confederate's war effort. As an example of his strength as a general was when with a small force he was able to defeat three Union forces in the Shenandoah Valley in a matter of days.
