Which Civil War General are you most like????

J.E.B. Stuart.

Thank goodness I got a Confederate general. The Confederacy clearly had the better generals. Was hoping for my hometown hero, Jubal Early though.

You may be interested in this little factoid

there is a ferry boat that shuttles cars and people near Leesburg VA... near where I live and over into Md ....crosses the Potomac every day, several times a day

The Ferry is called....The Jubal Early
 
You are most like James Ewell Brown (Jeb) Stuart, the most talented
cavalry officer of the war. Stuart had a passion for showmanship and was
often clad in a red-lined cape, a yellow sash, and a hat sporting an
ostrich plume. However, behind the facade of the dashing and flamboyant
cavalier was a deeply caring man who adored his family above all else.
He died in 1864 at the age of 31 from wounds sustained during the Battle
of Yellow Tavern.

Fitting, since I am directly related to him and share his name. Patrick County, VA.
Although, it could be argued that Nathan Bedford Forrest was the most talented cavalry officer of the Civil War.

Stonewall Jackson. If not for his "friendly fire" death at Chancellorsville, no telling how the war would have turned out. Perhaps Gettysburg would have turned out differently, and that may have turned the tide of the war. Who knows, but Stonewall was definitely my favorite.
