Generals of North and South

"Civil War: Generals of the North and South" was an informational video that discussed the four major generals of the Civil War. The video included facts and important quotes spoken by the generals during their lives. The video had a quote of General Robert E. Lee "It is well that war is so terrible, lest we should grow to fond of it" It discussed the brilliance and tremendous teamwork of Confederate Generals Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson and General Robert E. Lee; their tactics are still being studied at West Point. It also discussed the two major Union Generals, Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman. The video explained why these men were the best generals during that time.

All these had their own distinct military tactics but teamed together (Jackson and Lee, Grant and Sherman) they worked twice as good in coming up with the best ways to attack their enemies. These generals were all brilliant generals and served their respective causes valiantly. These men had extreme bravery as well as intelligence when they took the battlefield, as the video showed. These generals were all great, probably the best generals in the Civil War.
