Category:Commanding Generals of the Confederate States Army

On January 31, 1865, during the American Civil War, Robert E. Lee was promoted to general-in-chief of the Confederate States' armed forces, a newly created position. After Lee surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia at the Battle of Appomattox on April 9, no successor was appointed. Within a matter of weeks, all Confederate institutions ceased to exist.

In Harry Turtledove's Southern Victory series, a longer-lived Confederacy had a succession of generals-in-chief, some of whom are identified. The office does not seem to have been created in The Guns of the South.

Due to the brevity of the position's historical existence, and the fact that only one man ever held it, an OTL/ATL split has not been created for this category.
