Bragg  dumped Hill for only one


Fred:
 
A short time after Bragg relieved Hill of command, McLaws said the  following 
to Hill:
 
"You were, as you always are, open and outspoken, made no secret of your  
opposition to him and you were looked on as the head and front of the coalition  
against Bragg. I have no doubt but that all your sarcastic remarks ... were  
repeated to General Bragg, and that he personally aggrieved at your  conduct."
 
And as Teej explained, Daniel Harvey Hill may have been the only General  
that R. E. Lee openly disliked. D. H. Hill was, to use a cliche, his  own worse 
enemy. He was a general with unlimited potential, but one who  was lacking the 
necessary people skills.
 
Respectfully,

Mike Peters
