An important thing to remember about Robert E. Lee is that the Union’s best general was crosseyed drunk for most of the war and still outsmarted him.

Full credit to @ivnob for this one.

Noted civil war historian @rockiesVSconnor has pointed out that Grant’s drunkenness was an exaggeration. This may be true but it’s way funnier to believe he was beating Lee’s ass while he was hammered. The account is not called historically accurate Robert E. Lee facts.
