Confederate Infantry also known as Johnny Rebs, or Rebels.
They were known for their boldness, their courage, and their honor. The Confederates, under the command of such notable generals, as Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Nathan Bedford Forest were an extremely formidable foe for any enemy that they encountered. The problem Confederate infantry faced were they were normally out-numbered, out-gunned, and out-supplied.
It is estimated that during the Civil War, up to 2,000,000 Confederates fought in the Southern Army.
