    Part of that was Grant's fault as he was a nondescrept, almost seed looking, fellow who didn't give a very good first impression. His stellar accomplishments have also been beslimed by Southern "Lost Cause" Apologist who could only deify Lee by denigrating the General who defeated him and because most Northerners didn't give a shit and wanted to get on with life, they ignored the Lost Cause apologist and thus Grants substantial historical accomplishments were denigrated. The view by many uninformed people on Grant was that he was an untalented butcher and a drunk who used overwhelming force to defeat the Confederacy, which is an unmitigated lie. So the propaganda published post war about Grant by the Lost Cause Apologist was effective.

    But it doesn't take a whole lot of research to discover what a remarkable General Grant was. Unquestionably one of the top 2 or 3 generals this nation has ever produced. Certainly the best of the Civil War era Generals, though Sherman, Thomas and Forest were top notch Generals too. Forest in particular, given his background and character is a very interesting study. Forest was with out a doubt the best of the Confederate Generals followed closely by Johnston and Jackson. Lee, was a brilliant tactician and a genius at manuevers but over all was a mediocre General. Brilliant in defense, Lee blew chunks on the offensive and on strategy. Every time Lee went on the offensive it resulted in uneccessary and catastrophic strategic failure that played a large role in the Confederacy losing the Civil War. Lee went on the offensive in West Virginia and lost West Virginia and I'm sure you are well aware what strategic catastrophes Antietam and Gettysburg was for the Confederacy.

    The way I see it if they don't care to do the job they swore an oath to do then they should go back (state) where they came from.

    That's right simply because of assholes who think their feelings are more important that the rights of the people who erected those statues.

    No he wasn’t and I wouldn’t compare him to Grant but Forest was a remarkable man. The uneducated son of a frontiersman he became a millionaire (ok, it was in the slave trade which isn’t admirable at all) the joined the Confedearate Army as a private and rose to Lieutenant General. No single individual in the entire Civil War rose as far as he did. He and General Thomas were the only Civil War Generals to never lose a battle and Forest was the only Confederate General not defeated in the field and did not surrender. His tactics were the basis of today’s modern mobile arms and reads straight out out today’s army field manual. General Guiderion of Blitzkreig fame modeled his tactics after Forest and this from an uneducated frontiersman with no formal military education or training. No modern General has ever killed as many enemy combatants in hand to hand combat either. So Forest, warts and all was a fascinating man, a natural genius and a war criminal and racist but he was still the best General The Confederacy had and had he been in over all command the Confederacy probably wouldn’t have lost.

    You mean like at Shilo? Give me a fucking break. Sherman brought war to those who wanted and started a war. If they couldn’t take what they started that makes them the cowards.
