Went with 'killer combo'. Jackson was the kind of general men would follow even if they vowed to kill him after he won the war! But Lee was the man to love.
Tend to agree with Davidmendel - they were like salt and tomatoes, eggs and ham, Grant and Sherman! Think of what Grant would have missed if Forrest had gone ahead and shot Sherman dead at Fallen Timbers. (And, as things turned out, I suppose Forrest thought a lot about that - if only I'd capped him in Tennessee...) It's interesting to look at the war with Sherman being the dead key general - how would it have turned out then? Grant obviously would have soldiered on but would he, too, have said at some point the one general he missed at THAT battle was Sherman?
