Comparing Robert Lee to Frederick is laughable. Robert Lee had very little to offer beyond battlefield tactics. Better to compare Grant with Frederick - Grant exhibited nearly the full range of skills that Frederick did; and, the combination of Lincoln and Grant was a match for Frederick. Lee was nevfer even aware of such high levels. Frederick was a genius on all levels of Strategy - from grand national strategy all the way down to battlefield tactics.
