True but its still a stretch to call a confederate soldier one of history's three greatest
I am not sure who you would put above the three I mentioned. The argument could be made for maybe including the Spartan, but I cant imagine who else that you would think is better. I am curious, maybe this subject needs its own thread to get more input.

The Norse/Normans/Scandinavians would definitely be at the top. The Slavs, especially Cossacks and Russians, are great warriors and downright brutal. The Soviets singlehandedly defeated the Axis powers of Europe in WW2.
The Afrikaners/Boers were mentioned as the most rugged and noble warriors by Winston Churchill, but there weren't too many of them.

There are plenty soldiers who accomplished more impressive feats. Spartans as you mention. But there's no reason to think a confederate soldier was better than a Mongol, Crusader, Macedonian, or 1500s Spaniard. It's hard to compare with pre-gunpowder soldiers but the confederate soldier was a poorly trained, hungry farmboy compared to the professional soldiers in history.
