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.
