Obvious absence of Lee?


The description says that it will follow the lives of Civil War's generals...and there is no Robert E. Lee? What gives?

He is, Will Patton is slated to play him.

Is this just about the Eastern theater ? I would have liked to have seen NB Forrest in this, or Patrick Cleburne .

Both theaters get equal time.

Some roles are not yet cast. Jackson will be.

Jackson wasn't alive at the end of the war.
Also, he was a VMI man.
