Who could have replaced Robert E. Lee in the last year of the ACW

Another thing to remember is that before Early went off with the Valley Army, he had had temporary command of II & III Corps at different times during the Overland Campaign because of Ewell and Hill going on sick leave.

Early's problem with his colleagues was primarily based upon him being Jubal Early -- he did not get along with any of his fellow officers. Lee called him, "My bad old man."

He got along very well with Breckinridge, which is one reason that the Raid on Washington was such a success. But then, Breckinridge got along well with everyone in the Confederacy (with the notable exception of Braxton Bragg).

Did Bragg get along with anyone besides Davis?
