    For me, it was Pete Longstreet, although I also could have been Cump Sherman.

    I could do a lot worse.

    I’m William T.Sherman. He’s always been my favorite Union general, so I can live with that.

    I am quite the combination: McClellan at 65% and Lee and Burnside both at 60%. How a person could be that mix I have no idea.

    Sherman here as well…almost Longstreet though. I taught Sherman’s March this morning, so maybe Cump is on my mind.

    It’s a tie here…Lee and Longstreet 70%. Odd quiz, but the thing that it got right is I am no Phil Sheridan… 0%. :)

    Now I feel better.:)

    I’m USG. I guess it’s my penchant for buying clothes from the Walmart sales rack and then having a drink afterwards. I even surprised myself–but not as surprised as Ethan! Here are my top four:

    U.S. Grant 80%
    William T. Sherman 75%
    General James Longstreet 70%
    Robert E. Lee 60%

    Go figure . . . .

    Excuse me, Eric? You turn out to be the type of guy who gets his a** kicked by Ambrose Burnside! How could it be worse than that? . . . And–tell the truth–how many times did you have to take the test before you no longer came out Phil Sheridan?!? :)

    At least no one came out James Ledlie. Now THAT would be bad.

    Yours truly, Professor Rafuse–Insane
