I have often thought about how differently the war in the east was in comparison to the western theater. In the east, Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia held their own and had many decisive victories whereas in the west it was much different. I believe the leadership in the east was vastly superior with Lee and his commanders such as Jackson, Longstreet, AP Hill, Hood, Gordon, Stuart, Hampton, etc. Conversely, many of the A team union generals were out west with Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, etc.
If you had to pick one man in the entire CSA who did more to lose the war, who would you pick and why?
