the myth of "the south had better generals" is the same fascist cope as "the germans had advanced tech".
they both lost for some reasons...

The daughters of the confederacy is where comes from. Their group is the main reason their abilities were romanticized. Also, the fact they were allowed to re assimilate into society the money never went away so they massaged their image.

the only evidence that the North was better is that they wiped the fucking floor with the South, other than that it was a literal coin flip

C’mon, Lee had some great tactics like full frontal charge into a hail of gunfire, full frontal charge into a hail of gunfire, and who could forget his master stroke: full frontal charge into a hail of gunfire!

Sherman would laugh at that but he still has Georgia soot in his lungs and it hurts.

I think Atun Shei had it right that if that confederates had “better” generals then why didn’t they win the war?

McClellan was a known coward and idiot, who regularly disobeyed Lincoln's orders and even snubbed said president. I don't think siding with him or putting your backing behind him would be very smart😂

Talking History With Dom :
They had the best generals early on, maybe, but even then it was because the commander in chiefs we had were garbage until Grant because most figured it would be a short war but the confederate army lost most of the battles that were fielded, even Lee lost most of the men he lead into battle. He is way overhyped, stonewall was a better commander than Lee

folks is it a good command decision to do a war of attrition when your opponent is far more industrialized and has seemingly unlimited manpower

They had good tacticians but their logistics was terrible. We don't even need to talk about how good the generals were on the field

Lee lost so hard that when he tried to hold one confederate state, he wound up making two union states.

Lee was so good he SIGNED THE UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER OF THE SOUTH, at Appamadox courthouse which immediately after Grant gave Lee’s starving troops 25,000lbs of rations

Any competent general would have looked at the disparity in population, industry, and finances, and realized the Confederacy was a suicide pact.

It's more accurate to say the South had better tacticians who could win individual battles or even make the impossible possible. However, the North overall had better strategists that understood that you may not win every battle but that every casualty the south took wasn't easily replaceable, that their economy couldn't survive without trade, or that they couldn't fight on multiple fronts.
