Had JEB Stuart done his job, Lee might have been in a position to make that decision


If you read Lee's actual orders to Stuart, you'd probably get the sense Stuart believed he was doing his job. That's one thing Grant completely has over Lee. Grant's orders contained no ambiguity.

I have. Stuart was doing his own thing.

Hate Lee all you want, and you do.
The only thing Grant "had" on Lee was a population and manufacturing base, along with cigar & alcohol consumption.
