Let's show some love for James Wilkinson, the man who inspired this poll in the first place!
At least, let's get him out of the first round.

According to his anti-hagiographic Wikipedia article,

General James Wilkinson has been savagely condemned by American historians and politicians. According to President Theodore Roosevelt, "in all our history, there is no more despicable character."

Agree with Winston – while is US government service was as a well paid spy for the Spanish – and as Robert Leckie said of his military service "a general who never won a battle or lost a court-martial"

And unfortunately at the time he was well thought of. We have a county named for him frown .

And there are at least two fictional British characters on this list. I know they were nominated during the discussion but why were they listed??

Why is Longstreet on this list and not R.E. Lee?

Why is Longstreet on this list and not R.E. Lee?

Because Robert begins with an 'R' grin
