Forrest was a great commander (which is interesting cause he basically had zero military training going into the war) but he could've never commanded a whole army in the way Lee did

Ppl forget all the handicaps lee had to deal with whether it be from health, the CSAs lack of resources, and even dealing with Davis himself was a massive pain in his arse

I don't know a whole lot about the war or even Lee himself. I've never looked at it as a source of pride, just a cool fact to spill when people are talking about the CW.

I went to the Carnton Plantation tour a few years ago, and the guide we had was amazing and really piqued my interest in learning more. But procrastination. :/
