General Robert E Lee and his right hand man Stonewall Jackson were by far the most important men in the south during the civil war. The turning point of the war came after "stonewall" Jacksons death during the battle of Chancellorsville May 2 1863. I guess we cant forget to mention Jefferson Davis, the president of the confederate states.
