Lee was an average general
I'm probably one of the biggest "Lee bashers" on this board but the above statement is asinine. I would argue that Robert E. Lee is easily one of the Top 5 best manipulators of force in U.S. history.

To think Lee was an average general is not at all asinine; that is quite an overstatement. There are many historians who believe he was average; some even believe him to be below average and believe he was a primary cause of the South losing the war. Heck, entire books have been devoted to the topic.
Is it asinine to consider the possibility he was average? No. To do it on this board, possibly.
