My bad, The Battle of Chancellorsville part of GaG, not a seperate movie.

On a side note, GaG was a very friendly portrayal of Jackson. He was one weird dude. (hyper-religious)

Lets stay in this CW-war and discuss their generals.

I say that some of the generals from the Confederacy, was somehow better that their opposite, on the other side.

You are absolutely correct. Early to mid war, the Southern generals in the Eastern Theater were way better.

Cavalry generals in particular. Men like Jeb Stuart, Wade Hampton and Nathan Forrest. Was an area the Union never quite caught up in although as the war dragged on the importance of cavalry began to diminish.

The dashing John Pelham, Stuart's Horse Artillery.

Making life miserable for the Army of the Potomac at Fredericksburg with enfilade fire. Although Gen. Burnside gets most of the credit for misery there.

And don't forget John Buford's contribution to the opening stages of that battle, holding Reynolds' I Corp to the ground of his choosing and creating the situation that led to the Union victory in that battle.

Moral of the story is: never debate the Civil War with Sailor Steve... he was there...

Just a nit to pick.

Buford held the ground, waiting for for Gen. Reynolds I Corps against confederate Gen. Heth.

I would...Mostly I would just listen to what he have to say. It could be that he knows thing I didn't know of.

And the way you are saying it, it seems that he has a very high knowledge about the Civil war.

By the way, tonight I'm gonna see a documentary about another civil war:

The english civil war- I have very little knowledge about this, but I live to learn.

No. Lots of folks know as much or more than I do. It's just fun to look stuff up and talk about it.

As for the English Civil War, I know a little, but am much more interested in Mr. Cromwell's great grand-uncle Thomas and his "service" to Henry VIII.
