This is true, but Bragg having a personality that would give True Love second thoughts hurt him.

But yeah, Thomas is working with an almost unmanageable (for reasons completely beyond his control) situation.

I'm just thinking Thomas as Bragg is Bragg without his issues and even better at his strengths.

It hurt him, yes, but he still had a tactical victory at Perryville and won the biggest Confederate victory of them all at Chickamauga. Someone who was skilled, pragmatic, but not charismatic would work as well as James Longstreet did, and we saw how that worked IOTL with the Army of Tennessee. It requires circumstances in 1861 to give it a chance to develop functionally and that set of changes removes the entire war as we know it.

Maybe a bit better, but not much. Longstreet being less, in a word, upright, is made up for by having a better grasp on politics.

So, best to put mind controlled Thomas in the East where he can benefit from Lee favoring Virginians.
