Best Answer

The best General the Confederates ever had - Sidney Johnston, killed at Shiloh.

Ulysses Grant - who was caught off-guard, and almost let his whole army get pushed into the river, but rallied just in time.

Union General, Don Carlos Buell, who arrived in the last hours of the battle, and who could have claimed a certain degree of credit for saving the situation.

Politician-in-uniform John McClernand, who could rightly claim that he kept his brigade on full alert, when Grant had told the troops to stand easy, and could also rightly claim a share in the glory.

Grant was prejudiced against McClernand anyway, because he was not a West Pointer, and was inclined to talk to the press, wanting free plugs for his own brigade.
