All yours for the taking General Meade
Confederate Army Quiz

I know very little about the Confederate army, thus my score of 15/30 and more then a few were guesses.

24/30 including a few lucky guesses...

Like you jim, a bunch of guesses--but a few more wrong 22/30.

11/30 Clearly I am no student of the war for southern independence.

I managed only 24. Disgusting.

Some questions are rather interesting... SPOILER ALERT














Confederate General 50% more likely to die than an enlisted man? Sounds ridiculous but.....
73 Confederate Generals were killed in combat of approx 408 general officers = 17.89%
100,000 enlisted men were killed in combat of possibly 1,500,000 = 6.7%

The reason of course is that most of them were of Brigadier general rank and were expected to lead their brigade into action right up to contact with the enemy. Hence 6 CSA dead at Franklin (only one major general and he the best combat commander of either side); 5 CSA dead at Gettysburg and so on. At Gettysburg, both sides lost one Major General - the other 7 were brigadier generals
