What if he fought for the Confederacy, how much change that would have made in the outcome of the war?
He was running a military academy in Louisiana at the start of the war and hated the idea of fighting against his cadets and old West Point bros, but otherwise he had no loyalty to the south, unlike some other Yankee transplants. . It’s interesting to imagine him in command at Vicksburg rather than a tard like Pemberton, a Yankee who married a southern woman and threw in with the Secesh.

>just straight up refuses to come save your ass because he’s too busy retreating all the time
“Heh, nothing personnel John”
Johnston was one of the best Confederate generals of the war. Dixies demonize him for retreating so much unlike their beloved Lee and Jackson who faced the enemy head on. What Dixiecels fail to realize is that the "Get at them Yankees!"-style of warfare was precisely the worst type of approach for the South who lacked the manpower and industry to substain their casualties at the same rate as the North even when they won battles. The reason Grant beat Lee is because Grant was the first Union general to fully grasp the fact that in a straight slugging match, Lee, no matter how tactically brilliant he was, would lose in the long run, which is exactly what happened. Even though Lee won most of his battles against Grant, look who it was that wound up surrending and disbanding his troops at Appomattox.
>that pic
What a bastardization of history. Grant showed up half-covered in mud after riding hard all day to get there
>Johnston was one of the best Confederate generals of the war
Yeah no shit. You can tell which reb generals were actually based solely by how much dixoid LARPer seethe they’ve inspired over the years. Lee was a complete moron whenever he wasn’t playing defense and Jackson was a christcuck schizo but in order to uphold their mythological status they’ll endlessly shit on the likes of Johnston and Longstreet, who were by far the superior men
>The Confederates should have fought a war of attrition
but theyd lose because of inferior manpower and industry.
hyper aggressive assaults to demoralize the enemy was literally the only practical option.
>Grant beat Lee
Grant never beat Lee. Grant lost every field battle he ever fought against Lee. Lee's army was intact upon surrender, he was never forced to surrender in battle.
>Grant was the first to understand that Union men can absorb more bullets than the CSA can produce
yes what a genius
>but theyd lose because of inferior manpower and industry.
hyper aggressive assaults to demoralize the enemy was literally the only practical option.
Bro, the civil war is a conflict where whoever was playing defense and had enough time to properly fortify their position was significantly stronger than the attacker. To qoute Major-General J.F.C. Fuller:
>Generally speaking, the tactics of this war hinged on the bullet and the trench. From the very beginning the power of the first made itself felt In a manner so unmistakable that there appeared to be no solution to it except by entrenching a front, or by delivering an attack with such a mass of men that some at least would live to reach the enemy's parapet. Assault after assault failed, in fact, it has been calculated that less than one out of every eight assaults succeeded. "One rifle in the trench was worth five In front of it. The attacking columns saw little more before them than a thin and continuous sheet of flame issuing beneath the head-log of the parapet, whilst they themselves marched uncovered against the unseen foe."
Case and point: Robert E. Lee, the "military genius" of the South, never won a battle where he was the initial attacker. The South was never going to win by being too aggressive. They just weren't.
>Lee has 2 full years to secure his supply lines into Richmond/Petersburg
>never bothers and literally gets cucked by a gorilla-looking ginger and his merry band of cavalry
It’s even more hilarious when you realize Robert E. “my entire career up to the war was building defensive forts” Lee wasn’t even competent enough to play the right kind of defense in his own home state lmfao
source?
For what?
Lee was a distinguished commander during the mexican american war. You're a liar
moron alert
>By the end of the war, he had received additional brevet promotions to lieutenant colonel and colonel,
>but his permanent rank was still captain of ENGINEERS,
>and he would remain a captain until his transfer to the cavalry in 1855.
He was a fricking engineer and oversaw West Point before the war, dipshit. That’s literally it
>source

>he was in engineer after the war that means he did nothing during the war
have a nice day you disingenuous frick
>Lee served as an assistant in the chief engineer's office in Washington, D.C. from 1834 to 1837, but spent the summer of 1835 helping to lay out the state line between Ohio and Michigan. As a first lieutenant of engineers in 1837, he supervised the engineering work for St. Louis harbor and for the upper Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Among his projects was the mapping of the Des Moines Rapids on the Mississippi above Keokuk, Iowa, where the Mississippi's mean depth of 2.4 feet (0.7 m) was the upper limit of steamboat traffic on the river. His work there earned him a promotion to captain. Around 1842, Captain Robert E. Lee arrived as Fort Hamilton's post engineer.[28]
What war are you even talking about? The Civil or Mexican? Because you’re wrong either way homosexual
>moronic homosexual doesn't know the mexican american war exists
is that why your education is wikipedia
>was an engineer before Mexico
>went back to being an engineer after Mexico
>takes over in Virginia because Johnston gets shot
>destroys half his army in Pennsylvania
>proceeds to get cucked into starvation by a manlet ginger on horseback in the north and cucked into building miles of trenches he can’t man in the south
Yes, truly a great general
>>he was in engineer after the war that means he did nothing during the war
>have a nice day you disingenuous frick
He literally didn’t do shit. He fought in one battle and got his ass shot during it. His whole war experience was literally just building roads for Scott’s men where the Mexicans were too fricking moronic to set up any defenses. He played soldier on easy mode and it shows in his command during the Civil War

and don't post wikipedia ever again you frick
>Don't post Wikipedia ever again
He led US MARINES to put down that treasonous John Brown.
John Brown was a hero, Cletus
Brown was a mentally challenged psychopath that wanted to turn half the continent into Haiti. Raging at phantom ruralites isn't going to bring back your favorite madman or make his dreams of a blood-soaked slave jihad any more righteous.
>wanted to turn half the continent into Haiti
So exactly what the South had already done?
>hyper aggressive assaults to demoralize the enemy
Shit, maybe if you're a state with fantastic discipline, and a powerful industry to support it you can do a lightning war against another stable country like that, but The Confederacy was not Prussia, and they shouldn't try to fight like they are Prussia.
Honestly I'm shocked they didn't try and fortify instead. The Appalachians to one side and an ocean to the other pretty much guaranties they're only going to be attacked in one direction.
Plus, demoralizing works better when an enemy's attack failed. If the confederates didn't frick with the North, and said that they were just defending themselves, it's a lot easier for Northerners to justify just letting them go, instead of when you attack the North and threaten the Capital, which makes you seem like an existential threat.
>Dixoids
even your language is from pol.
Jackson was one of the best. He understood that in local engagements the Yankees had inferior manpower and thus could not sustain a head on fight against the CSA, Jackson ground them down till they were beaten, Jackson is a superior commander 🙂
0/10 🙂
No I invented the term Dixoids, i started it because traitor homosexuals spammed endless Civil War threads and endlessly vomited rebel propaganda
The south literally had no choice but relentless attack, though not in the west. They had to win before the anaconda choked the life out of them, they couldn't do that, so they lost.
How about Don Carlos Buell who had a Southern wife and had owned slaves?
While We Were Marchin' Through South Carolina just doesn't have the same ring to it tbh
Because it’s universally agreed South Carolina is one of the worst states in the country and nothing of value was lost
South Carolina is one of the most based states. It will forever be remembered for making bootlickers collectively seethe and cause national crises not once but twice
seethe yankcuck
You get what you fricken deserve
Because a quick check on South Carolina 's history proves that the average person living there is autistic and on the verge of sociopathy, plus they started the whole fricking thing, so everybody agreeded they had it coming and there was no use to cry over dead Johnny Rebs
Based SChads being the antagonists of US history. Stay seething yankoid.
True that, South Carolina is indeed on Iran tier regarding hate for the United States
My point was that the Burnin’ Sherman meme always refers to Georgia, but in reality his men burned down South Carolina. Everyone knows who started it, midwit
As an SC élite, this is because Georgia is a much more populated and relevant state today, while no one outside SC gives a shit about SC except for tourists in Myrtle Beach or carpetbaggers in Charleston.
Georgia developed Atlanta into a major urban center postwar whereas mostly agrarian states like Mississippi and South Carolina never regained their pre-1865 wealth and power.

>and don't post wikipedia ever again you frick
Lee was good at psychoanalyzing his opponents because he knew many of them from the prewar army and what to expect from them. Grant tripped him up as he didn't really know him at all, just met him once briefly during the Mexican War.
nice fanfiction
Based and actually Lee-pilled
Longstreet did know Grant a bit better. He said "That man will fight us every day and every night until the war is over."
