If you had to choose the single Confederate individual most responsible for the failure of the Confederate effort to gain control of Kentucky in the fall of 1862, who would it be? Bragg? Polk? Hardee? Smith? Someone else?
If you insist on finding fault, then it must be laid at the feet of Bragg as the overall commander. It was his watch, therefore everything that happened was his responsibility. Personally, I think there may be some virtue to the notion that he had nothing to gain and everything to lose, and that a withdrawal was prudent.
The buck stopped w/Bragg.

When in doubt, always blame Braxton Bragg. He was that bad.
