Jeff Davis considered him the best general he had until RE Lee. But what did he do that was so great? As far as I can tell he did little but get his butt kicked by US Grant and die in the Battle of Shiloh. Is there something I am missing? True Grant was the best general in the war but just because you lose to the best doesn't necessarily make you good. I would be totally creamed by Micheal Jordon in his prime but that doesn't make me great. I would still be lousy at basketball. I would just be someone lousy at basketball creamed by MJ.
