It definitely wasn't due to his views on slavery. George Thomas was a slaveholder and believed wholeheartedly in the institution. Where he and and men like Lee disagreed, however, was in their sense of identities. While Lee viewed himself as a Virginian first and foremost, Thomas viewed himself as an American.


Thomas did something Lee never did. He won a decisive victory. At Nashville he drove the reb Army of Tennessee to destruction.
