No matter what side they were on the amount of bravery it took to fight in that war is hard for me to imagine with the brutality and the level of casualties
Yes you do sir, yes you do
I challenge anyone to point out a finer military leader

I can and in the same war. Nathan Bedford Forrest might well have been the finest cavalry commander we have had before or since, his politics aside.
General Lee made some pretty big mistakes, just about the entire Gettysburg campaign comes to mind. But in his defense he wasn't in the best of health for a lot of the war. During much of his time he had some serious digestive tract issues and probable dehydration, heart problems and sciatica.
IMO the worst was Braxton Bragg, Civil War wise.
