I admit this is just another one of those opinion topics you may or may not be interested in. I think we can all agree that Lee is considered the best battlefield tactician the south had or at least that is the reputation.

I must admit though the more I read about Longstreet the more I am impressed with him and think history hasn't given him the credit he deserves. I am wondering if he would not have been just as good or even better as commander of the ANV?? It seems he was very cool under fire, great tactician, well liked. He seemed to try and keep the casualty count down on his troops when he could, forcing the enemy to attack fortified positions, good ground, etc., but I have read several accounts that if he saw a chance to gain the advantage, he was willing to attack, take a chance.

Am I way off base here and missing something, or do you guys think the same?? Just curious.
