Grant had superior 2,3,4/to 1 numbers advantage as well as equipment/supplies/weaponary in EVERY battle...Lee had NONE the entire war...not once...
You're comparing apples to oranges...
The Tampa Bay bucs had Steve Young...bu no offensive line...they said he sucked...traded him to the 49'er's for a 3rd round draft pick...told every-one back then...dumbest trade of all time....he'll be the hall of fame....guess what...with weapons such as Rice & company and THE line....rest is history.
So again...if the roles WERE reversed...
Just google...who do northern scholars think was the best generals in the civil war...surely you can find a few to support you...be sure and omit the the ones that don't..
alas...you just trolling...so I'm done with this...we ALL got an opinion...just like another part of our anatomy
