re: Robert E. Lee has been misrepresented by regressive "historians"

Chancellorsville was brilliant, for example.

His victory at Chancellorsville led to his defeat at Gettysburg. Tactically the battle is arguably his greatest victory. Strategically he lost more than he could afford. He lost 13,000 men, many of whom were his most able and skilled regimental, brigade, and divisional commanders. And of course he lost Stonewall Jackson.

Right. Lee lost 238 field grade officers on the Chancellorsville campaign. It must be agonizing for Lee's peanut gallery to contemplate all those near misses on the G-burg campaign. Culp’s Hill, Little Round Top, and on and on. That is what losing 238 majors and colonels and of course T.J Jackson too will do to your operations.
