      Lee was good at maneuver warfare, but that style wasted far too many men that he couldn't afford to waste. He should have dug in and defended from day 1. Eventually he figured it out at Cold Harbor, but by then it was far too late. Overrated general...https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1050901081537073155 …

      Lee was a tac. genius no doubt. His strat. was sound too. CSA couldn't win long term war so he went for the kill early. Smart.

      Nah, he mostly sat in Virginia and waited for the enemy to come to him. Once he invaded Pennsylvania but got whupped and retreated. Dumb.

      He invaded the North twice! Almost worked too. Antietam and Gettysburg were close and could've won the war for South. Amazing

      Lee is rated appropriately nonetheless. McClellan, on the other hand, was a master of logistics and very underrated.

      Nah, Lee wasted a ton of manpower, launched a failed invasion, and ultimately lost the war. Overrated as heck

          Especially given he had good chance at first when North dawdled.

          Was he as "close" as Gettysburg, as @jordanmoore0929 suggests? Pickett's Charge at least was a total failure as far as I read.

          Replying to @fredericln @kar_nels and

          He was close the day before Pickett's charge, if he'd taken Little Round Top. But even if that was done and the Union forced from the field, a whole lot after that had to go right for the Confederacy after that, much of which was unlikely.

          England entering the war on the South's side was a real possibility. He wanted to show the South was viable. Also one of the main reasons for the Emancipation Proclamation that didn't free a single slave (only for states in rebellion). England had already outlawed slavery.

          So Lincoln made the North's cause for ending slavery and not just restoring the Union.

          Don't forget about him being a traitor who should have been publicly hanged the instant the surrender papers were signed.
