I have overlooked Cleburne since I don't recall hearing about him.

Patrick Cleburne was I think no question over-looked, especially by the Confederate high command in the West – despite being the bane of his opponents he was passed over three times for Corps command; Hardee said of him

"Where this division defended, no odds broke its line; where it attacked, no numbers resisted its onslaught, save only once; and there is the grave of Cleburne"

His death in the ill-conceived Battle of Franklin was a big blow to the Confederate cause

Cleburne suggested to arm the slaves, that was the end of his advancing in the army.

Not just arm them, but grant them freedom. He felt it was the best chance for the Confederacy to survive. He was probably right.
