For most of the war, the Confederates had no-one in the post of General-in-Chief.

The Southern president Jefferson Davis tried to perform the function himself, but was badly out of his depth.

Not until the last weeks of the war did he appoint a General-in-Chief - Robert E. Lee - but by that time, it was too late to have any effect.
