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.

Southern States.
During the Civil War, the northern states referred to the southern states as the "Confederacy." This term represented the group of eleven southern states that seceded from the Union to form their own government, known as the Confederate States of America. The northern states, often called the Union, viewed the Confederacy as a rebellion against the federal government.
Confederate General Robert E. Lee was nicknamed "King of Spades".
