Lee was a brilliant commander and if he stays with the union war is over quickly. However, I think he overestimated his men and had a bit of a big head at Gettysburg.

Eta they missed Jackson big time at Gettysburg as well


I agree with all that. South had some good men but it’s not like the North didn’t have men trained just as good. Basically the volunteers for the South may have been better marksmen, but your regular soldiers pretty much evened out, at least imo. I just can’t see how Lee thought he had a good plan at Gettysburg
