Interesting he was offered General Command of the entire Federal Army before any of those Corp or division commanders were widely known.

Lee was inept. The only reason his reputation as a "great general" survives is that he's part of that "lost cause" propaganda... to paint the South as something noble. Gettysburg, for example, is textbook shitty military foresight, planning, and execution... and totally at odds with what the South needed to do to win its independence.

I am a guy that considers Lee a traitor. . .

. . .but this is unforgivably fricktarded.

Lee's battlefield tactics are STILL TAUGHT AT WEST POINT!

so congrats on outing your historical ignorance, I guess

Yeah - that must be reason Lincoln wanted him fighting for the northern aggressors rather the confederacy.
