During the battle of Fredericksburg the Confederate Army had a great advantage over the Union Army since their Main Commander was Robert E Lee who was also the key General of the Confederacy and is also called one of the greatest military minds that this country has produced. But other than him there were about three more key Confederate generals that include Lt. General James Longstreet, Maj. General J.E.B Stuart and thee imfamous Lt. General Thomas Jonathan " Stonewall" Jackson. General Longstreet was also one of the main reasons for the Confederate's victory since his troops were moved to Fredericksburg Early he had time to set up heavy defenses and site his artillary to create a heavy killzone for when union soldiers attacked. Then on the flanks of the Confederate Army were Stonewall Jackson who covered of the Confererate lines and meanwhile J.E.B Stuart and his calvary that were recognized by General Lee covered Jackson's right side which as Lee said, " effectually guarded our right, annoying the enemy and embarrassing his movements by hanging on his flank, and attacking when the opportunity occurred." Without all of these elements it would have been a sure defeat for the Confederate Army due to the Unions advantage of almost 20,000 men.
