Union won because of industrialization and a naval blockade. Southern baws had more heart and better strategy.

Good soldiers on both sides but Union had poor commanders besides Grant and Sherman while the South had a bunch of good commanders.

Can't be Grant or Sherman since they both hated black people.

It's probably just some random soldier we didn't ever hear about, probably a bad arse that at some point got killed by a cannon.

Chamberlain

Chamberlain's story was cool considering he survived a "mortal" wound and returned to service but he wasn't even the hero of Little Round Top.
The hero of Little Round Top was "Paddy" O'Rourke and the 140th New York. O'Rourke's charge finally repelled the Alabamians and Texans and he died in the attack.
But, Chamberlain survived and lived to write his story, and prop up his reputation.

Meade was a quiet dependable successful commander. He should be on the short list.

Grant was probably the only really exceptional strategic mind to come out of the war on either side. He understood the nature of what had quickly evolved to be modern warfare better than any of his Union peers or his Confederate counterparts.
