The two best generals of the confederacy had to be general Robert edward lee and general Stonewall Jackson.
The only good ones I've found are on PC, such as Civil War Generals 1&2
There were several generals in charge over the course of the war: General Westmoreland is the best known as had it during the 70's.
William T. Sherman was a prominent Union general during the American Civil War. He is best known for his role in the Western Theater, particularly for his command during the Siege of Vicksburg and his infamous "March to the Sea" from Atlanta to Savannah in 1864, where he employed total war tactics to weaken the Confederacy. Sherman's strategies significantly contributed to the Union's victory and the eventual defeat of the Confederacy.
Better Generals - some of the best officers in the US Army had resigned to serve the Confederacy. A stronger cavalry tradition - most young men were accustomed to the riding and shooting way of life. A powerful mission imperative - to defend the homeland against the invader. (All the battles except Gettysburg were on Southern soil.)
The Battle of Chancellorsville was in the end, won by the Confederacy tactically but it was a HUGE strategic failure. Because of a friendly fire incident, one of the Confederacy's best generals, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, died of pneumonia through an infected wound. Many historians believe that had Jackson lived, the Confederacy would have won at Gettysburg. Lee would never find a general as brilliant as Jackson again.
He was the Confederacy's best general during the American Civil War.
Because so many of the best officers in the pre-war U.S. Army were Southerners.
The best estimate was that in the North, almost two million soldiers were in the military during the course of the US Civil War. The best estimate for the Confederacy is perhaps 750,000.
A highly successful tactic that prevented war supplies reaching the Confederacy.
The West Point class of 1846 was one of the most distinguished in the academies history. Among the best graduates was George B. McClellan and "Stonewall" Jackson. Of that class 12 served as generals for the Union and 10 served for the Confederacy.

A clear, emotive war-aim - defending the homeland against the invader. Some of the best Generals from the US Army, resigning to join the Confederates. Plenty of recruits experienced in the soldierly skills of shooting and horse-riding.
He eventually learned to choose and use good Generals, as his opposite number, Jefferson Davis, never did.
Yes , he was a capable Brigade and Divisional commander and one of the best Generals that the Confederacy had . He was a serious commander of troops and often led from the front which cost hime the use of an arm and suffered the loss of a leg . Robert E. Lee used him and his Texas troops as shock troops to break the Union lines during the American Civil War .
They were both arguably by far the 2 best civil war generals.
The most famous Confederate General was Robert E. Lee. Not everyone thought he was the best. Both Grant and Sherman rated Joe Johnston higher.
Keeping the slave-states of the Upper South from seceding. Selecting good new Generals, since so many of his best officers had resigned to join the Confederacy. Preventing Britain and France from aiding the South. Facing the test of a General Election in the middle of a costly and unpopular war.
