Grant and Thomas were significantly better than Lee. Sherman possibly as well. That's just the Union Generals.
Thomas was a classical Napoleonic type General like Lee... but would have smashed him if they were to face off.
Robert E. Lee benefits greatly from the southern revisionist version of history.

Wrong....the North wrote THE history...winners ALWAYS do....
And if the roles had been reversed....Lee would have ended the war a year earlier...
North got repeating rifles tho...end of story...
It was best that the north won...for a multitude of reasons....slavery being 1st...this coming from a southern white park trailer trash civil war history buff....
But hey...if you think so...it must be true...we'll just have to disagree on this topic...
