Robert E. Lee was a great general in the fact that he was able to turn sure defeat into resounding victories. He was greatly loved by his men and respected by friend and foe alike. He has been called the most beloved general in United States history. For information on examples of why he was so well loved and respected, read the book Recollectons of General Lee by Dr. John F. Maury.
Here is a great site that will answer who were the Confederate Generals: http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/Confederate_Generals.htm
Some famous Union Generals include George Custer, Joshua Chamberlain, and George Meade. Other examples include Nathaniel Banks and Ulysses S. Grant. The American Civil War was fought from 1860 to 1865.
Confederate General Robert E. Lee, Union General Ulysses S. Grant, and Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson are some of the great military civil war heroes. There are other less well-known (but still important) generals and military men, too.
He was a great general who won many battles.
Military theorist Henri Jomini's works on Napoleonic Era warfare was written in French, however, many Union generals had read translations of Jomini's ideas on warfare. One of Johmini's ideas about battles found a home in the thinking of many Union generals. One such idea was that Johmini advised one great offensive action centered on one theater of war. Theaters during the US Civil War were huge. Also, due to the tactical defensive nature of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and other Southern generals, the "one great effort" to destroy an enemy army within a single theater of war proved virtually impossible for Union generals.
The South had a great many good generals, including Robert E. Lee, P.T. Beauregard, and Stonewall Jackson.
Most of Alexander's generals came from Macedonia
The first Union generals, save perhaps McClellan, were unwilling to go after the Confederate soldiers when they were at their weakest, and instead charged in and fought them when they were strong again. General Taylor was among the first generals to hit the enemy when they were vulnerable and weakened. So, Lincoln kept trying General after General until he found one that would fight. Oddly, that turned out to be McClellan, again, and he did well, but not great, at his 2nd chance in command. Later Generals were fine leaders and tacticians.
great!
He had over 50 generals. Did you have any particular group in mind.
