I think Bragg extended the War in the West by at least a Year and that, in and by, itself should be remembered as his lasting legacy to the confederacy, i.e., Chattanooga could have been lost in 1862.
I am not a student of Bragg, but I'm interested in the difference in skill set between corps and army commanders? In Bragg's case was this set dramatically lacking and how?Don't give Bragg anything bigger than a corps.

Sorry, but it had to be done. It's chocolate!!!!!
-----------------------------------I don't know about "most" hated but he was definitely heavy on the discipline and the use of capital punishment. Personally, I think he'd have been replaced by most governments if not for the mysterious support of Davis which is for me a mystery as I don't see how Bragg's record supports him.
Not at Shiloh!As a corps commander most of your command is visible, and one has the ability to almost personally direct it's movements. This can't be done at army commander level.
@dhh712 , welcome to the forums from the host of the Stonewall Jackson Forum! (And of course, Jackson was DHH's brother-in-law.)
Unfortunately, there were some that did.
