Robert E. Lee.  Actually was hoping for John Buford or Old Pete Longstreet.

You are most like Ulysses S. Grant, the man most directly responsible for winning the civil war. Grant was a simple, modest man from Ohio with incredible problem-solving skills and a thoroughly unflappable demeanor. However, his judgment was not perfect, leading to several years of drunkenness before (and possibly during) the war. He was also well-known for his long-running feuds with fellow generals. However, Grant rose to become the 18th president after the war and is remembered for his skill in both the military and in politics. He died in 1885 at the age of 63.

Grant for me, but I may have been answering the questions to try to achieve that result.

To my surprise...

"You are most like General Robert E. Lee, arguably the most respected figure of the war. Despite an opposition to secession and slavery, Lee chose to fight for his home state of Virginia at the start of the civil war. When he was promoted to command the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in 1862, he proved himself an excellent strategist and a master of military tactics. Lee was famous for his regal bearing and his absolute morals, which inspired fanatical loyalty in his men. He died in 1870 at the age of 63."
