Jubal Early, Part 6 | "Open the Eyes of the People of the North"

A Confederate General with one of the most long lasting impacts on American History is definitely Jubal Early. He was known as Robert E. Lee's "Bad Old Man" and performed admirable service for Robert E. Lee during the American Civil War. He fought in nearly all of the battles fought by the Army of Northern Virginia and during his Shenandoah Valley Campaign, he pushed his little army all the way to Washington DC. When the war ended, he never surrendered and remained unreconstructed. He helped start the Lost Cause and in that way, he had the longest lasting legacy of any Confederate General; he raised Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson to demigod status and perpetuated many myths about the Confederacy, essentially writing its history.
