That can make their contributions just as real. I don't think that many discount General Sheridan, General Sherman, or General Lee as being lesser generals just because they fought during a civil war.

Especially when you look at the American Civil War, I dont mean the generals are not military proficient or they are less determined to win, but the fact is they all have similar training experiences, and doctrines. To me Civil war leaders are like football coaches playing with the same book, they all have the plays and everybody else knows how to counter them.
