Time for SE++ Civil War cosplay. What general from the War Between the States are you most like?
ZombieKyle (CrackedLens)
Gen. Joseph Hooker
Hooker was know for being an aggresive leader, his command post was refered to as a "bar room and brothel". He pretty much got his position by telling Lincoln how horrible the current military leadership was. He kicked ass until he was put in charge of the Army of the Potomac and did pretty good until Lee bitch slapped him at Chancelorsville. After that he went and helped out Sherman in the Georgia campaign. That's me, Fightin' Joe
Chairman Maiow (The Otaku Suppository)
Gen. George B. McClellan
McClellan organized the Army of the Potomac. He was notorious for constantly misjudging the strength of Lee's forces, causing numerous retreats and defeats. He did however, fight Lee to a standstill at Antietam. Although not the best battlefield general he was a decent commander who was always held in high regard by his men.
QuietMessiah (B.C.)
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
Grant turned the tide for the Union. He is considered on of the best strategist of the Civil War. He was also thought to have had a drinking problem.
FlintlockHMD (Mr. Henry Bemis)
Gen. Abner Doubleday
Doubleday fired the first shots in the defense of Fort Sumter. He led his men in the cornfield at Antietam (the bloodiest part of the battle). He also was the first infantry division on the field at Gettysburg. His men fought well until being overrun by Confederate forces and forced to retreat through the town. He was described as a "gallant officer ... remarkably cool and at the very front of battle." He is also said to have invented baseball, although this theory has been disproven by sports historians.
Cable Carrier (One Thousand Dicks)
Gen. Ambrose Burnside
Burnside led a couple of succesful campaigns until he absolutely got his ass kicked at Fredericksburg. He is probably most notorious for his role at Antietam, where it was his task to lead his men across the creek. Instead of scouting the area for available places to ford the water, he made for the bridge, and only the bridge. The bridge was covered heavily by Confederate snipers from above and there was little to no chance of getting across. The time it took to get across allowed reinforcements to shore up the Confederate troops, which ultimately led to a stalemate in the bloodiest battle of the war.

Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman
Fuckin' Sherman. He was the Union's ultimate badass. "Uncle Billy" was a failed businessman and had a nervous breakdown before US Grant asked him to come fight with him. After having his ass handed to him at Shiloh, he redeemed himself at Vicksburg and Chattanooga. Then Grant told him to go kick ass in Georgia. Sherman began a "scorched earth campaign", his men basically cut a 3 mile swath through Tennessee and Georgia on the way to Atlanta. One of their man target was Confederate railroad supply lines. The troops would rip up the tracks, heat them, and bend them around tree trunks. These were called "Sherman's Neckties". People in Georgia still hate his ass, that tells you how good of a job he did. After conquering Atlanta, he started up through the Carolinas, pinning the last of the Confederate forces between him and Grant. Sherman was awesome.
Debellum (Futore)
Gen. John S. Mosbey
Mosbey though he fought for the South, he opposed secession and slavery. He was also known as the "Gray Ghost." He was a Confederate partisan Ranger (a partisan is similar to a guerrilla fighter) in the American Civil War. He was noted for his lightning quick raids and his ability to successfully elude his Union Army pursuers and disappear (like a ghost) with his men, blending in with local farmers and townspeople. Dude was so badass that Patton's grandfather looked up to him.
Ich Liebab Hahn (Metzger Meister)
Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson
Stonewall was just a straight up badass. He earned his nickname by leading his well trained troops in reinforcing the confederare line at First Bull Run. He was General Lee's right hand man, until he was shot by his own troops. Dude was TK'd.
msuitepyon
Gen. John Bell Hood
Hood fought for the Confederacy. He was an awesome small brigade and division commander, but didnt do so well when he was assigned to lead larger groups of men. He was best at leading bands of shock troops, and was known for his bravery. He was arrested at one point over an arument with Gen. Longstreet, but after his soldiers pleaded to Gen. Lee himself, Lee intervened and had Hood reinstated. At Gettysburg, he was injured by artillery, and made himself pretty popular with the ladies in Richmond while recovering. Eventually, he was put in charge of the defense of Atlanta, with Sherman at the very gates of the city. He devised numerous aggresive strategies to rout Sherman from the city, all of which failed. Which sucks for him.
Faricommie (Faricazy)
Gen. William "Bull" Nelson
"Bull" Nelson was a navy man. He is the only naval officer to recieve the rank of major general on either side during the war. He was instrumental at Shiloh as his men came charging in just in time to assist Grant and win the battle. He is most well know for being murdered. He talked shit to, and then slapped, Gen. Jefferson C. Davis (not the CSA president). Davis straight up shot the Bull in the chest. That's what you get!
Pharezon
Gen. J.E.B. Stuart
Stuart was a stellar cavalry commander for the South. He had a thing for wearing red silk like capes, yellow sashes, peacock feathered hats, a red rose, and cologne into battle. Despite being a big fag, he could lead a troop of men. On two occasions he and his cavalry completely rode around the Army of the Potomac, beating the hell out of them. Unfortunatly, he recieved poorly instructed orders at Gettysburg and was not able to fulfill his obligations, contributing to the loss. He is remembered by having a type of tank named after him, as well as a character on Dukes of Hazzard.
Doc Shifty
Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard
Beauregard was the first southern general to stand out during the war. He won battles at the First Battle of Bull Run, Shiloh, and Corinth. The best thing he did though was direct the defense of Petersburg with a vastly outnumbered group of men. This stopped Richmond from being overrun. Too bad that Jefferson Davis and other higher ranking officers didnt like him, because instead of giving him a force to make an attack on the north, they put him in charge of the Western Theatre.
I will also be there after I eat something.
