Your vote for Best General (Poll)

So who deserves the top rank of best General? I like Grant, Lee, and Sherman. I like those three equally.

(Request: Could you increase your poll question from 10 to say 20, and could you allow polls to be made in the American Civilwar area)?

:)
Done and done. :)

Interesting topic. I'll wait until you add more choices before I vote, but you already have some good one's there.

I've gone with the man Lee was supposed to have voted for...Nathan Bedford Forrest. He certainly did the most with the leastest IMHO.

Horrible man though.

Grant ...........

As a school kid back in the 60's, my class took a trip to see Grant's Tomb in NYC.

Learning about the Civil War back in the day and then going on the class trip is what gave me this love for the Civil War....

Yeah, I'm leaning towards him myself. Forrest was a military genius, but yes an evil man indeed.

And Mike, you left out the greatest Divisional commander of the war. :)

Haaa, I ran out of room again. :)

To list everyone, I think I need another 10 to 20 more slots... :pinch:

Who would that be LP?
