"There will be blood..." Who lost the highest percentage of soldiers under his command?
Answer Robert E. Lee
After losing twice the number of troops as Robert E. Lee in the 1864 Overland Campaign, General Ulysses S. Grant was deemed a "butcher" by President Lincoln's wife, Mary. However, in looking at an overview of the entire war, Lee's attack strategy resulted in significantly more Confederate casualties.
