I think this guy would be a good "what if" leader. He was considered by many of his peers to be one of the best generals in the union army, but Ball's Bluff (where he delegated his authority, and was not present on the field) ruined his career. Can we put him in at least as a 3-1-1 . . . so that with randomization he could turn out either good or bad?

Hmm Grant stuck up for him. That's worth something to me.
