I am too. I am also surprised Neil Armstrong didn’t make the list.

One name that I know would be too controversial, but IMO should be there is Robert E. Lee. He is arguably the best general in America history. He wasn’t fighting for the south for their ideals, but because his state/Home/Community found themselves in the Southern states.

Robert E Lee should be there. Even Eisenhower thought he was one of the four greatest Americans that ever lived.

If you want a Confederate figure the best one would be Longstreet. He repeatedly tried to talk Lee out of the disastrous Pickett's Charge. He also advocated for racial equality after the war, which makes him a redemption story.

They need to add Michael DeBakey to the list.

He also did a lot to unify the nation after the war and to try to bring peace once the South lost.
