Liutenant General William Joseph Hardee

Hardee is not listed anywhere on this page for some reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.220.4.195 (talk) 02:12, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the records, he is there now with the other Lieutenant Generals ... GELongstreet (talk) 19:09, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Total number of Brigadier Generals in ACSA at war's end

According to the article: "By war's end the Confederacy had at least 383 different men who held this rank in the PACS, and three in the ACSA: Samuel Cooper, Robert E. Lee, and Joseph E. Johnston." But by war's end, the three persons mentioned were no longer Brigadier Generals. Should this statement perhaps be in the Plusquamperfect? "...383 different men who had held, at some point in their career, this rank in the PACS, and three in the ACSA: Samuel..."

Sounds like an improvement to me. ...GELongstreet (talk) 20:00, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

This article should be renamed "Confederate generals". The current title, "General officers in the Confederate States Army", is ridiculously wordy. Solomonfromfinland (talk) 05:00, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
