You scored as Robert E Lee. You're General Lee, a true American hero. You could have commanded the Union army, but your loyalties lie with your home state, Virginia </td> Robert E Lee 70% Ulysses S Grant 65% Jeb Stuart 55% George Armstrong Custer 50% Philip Sheridan 50% George B McClellan 50% Thomas Jackson 40% William T Sherman 20% What Civil War general are you? created with QuizFarm.com

i don't know if the quiz even has longstreet in it ~ who besides longstreet was Catholic? sherman was married to a Catholic and surely mcclellan wasn't ~ was he? i am amused that jackson and sherman are at the bottom (where they should be!) ~ hahahaha

the quiz doesn't have pictures, so i had to go find my own.

Stonewall Jackson is sort of my hero
the most, Mighty Stonewall by Vandiver
a great book also "I rode with Stonewall"
by Kyd Douglas. He took instruction from a
Catholic Bishop in Mexico city when he was
there during that war, he did not convert from
the Presybterian church but respected the Catholic
and always had catholic chaplains. He wrote his
notes to his wife in or incorporating tender
phrases in Spanish.

I started to take the quiz but stopped
as it was too specific, I mean questions
like "stonewall"? (this is my only sort
of military userpic by the way it is chow
yun fat)
the first question about civilians aiding
the enemy being legitimate targets...I do not
think Stonewall was (unlike Qunantrel (sp?))
implicated in any less than honorable
thing of that sort but at the beginning of the
war he consdiered that perhaps if one wages
war it is best as in the Old Testament to take
no prisoners but fortunately he thought better
of that. not that Andersonville was a resort
hotel...

Doesn't look like Longstreet's included... which is a shame, because that's who I would have wanted, too! LOL
