**__The Wilderness Confederate Soldiers__**

The Confederate army was a very well trained force. They did great with the resources they had and surprised the Union with their victories. The Confederate had 61025 strong soldiers in the battle The Wilderness. Even though that the Union had many more soldiers then the Confederates, the South did very well with good tactics and their great leader General E. Lee. The South had some of the best military generals of all time that America has ever seen. But that does not mean that they don't have trouble with the Union. In the battle the Wilderness the Confederates had 11,125 casualties. 1495 in which were deaths. 7928 were wounded and 1702 were either captured or missing. The good thing for the south though was that the south had far less casualties than the Union had. This still hurt the south but they recovered. The winner of this battle however was inconclusive. All and all the South did a fantastic job of fighting being so outnumbered and without as many resources.
