Indy, I was saying Ft. Stedman and Mule Shoe were not huge battles, not that they were decisive. I also already addressed Pickett's Charge, and I admit that it was entirely Lee's fault, and do not blame Longstreet in the least. I said that Cold Harbor was the only doomed assault worse that Pickett's Charge earlier. Lee was not a perfect general, but who was? Just because I said Lee was a superior commander than Grant doesn't mean Lee is flawless. And, if you'll recall, Lee had a lot more man power when he was against some of the other unsuccessful Yankee generals. He never recovered from Gettysburg, a blow that was not delivered by Grant. Sorry you did not understand my post, but maybe you should've read the whole argument before attempting to discredit me.
