Blue VS. Grey Bulletin Board

Recently I was given the project of making a bulletin board that was Civil War themed. It took me awhile to decide on a theme but I finally did. I chose to do the leaders of the two armies. Naturally the ones on top are the General-in-Chiefs and the ones below are under them. On the Union side on top is: General Sherman and from left to right there is: Major General Joe Hooker-Commander of the First Corps, Major General Edwin Sumner- Commander of the Second Corps, Major General Fitz Porter- Commander Fifth Corps, Major General William B. Franklin- Commander Sixth Corps, Major General Ambrose Burnside- Commander Ninth Corps, Major General Joseph Mansfield- Commander Twelfth Corps, and Brigadier General Alfred Pleasonton- Commander of the Cavalry Division.

And on the Confederate side there is General Lee (on top) and from left to right: Lieutenant General James Longstreet- Commander First Corps,  Lieutenant General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson- Commander Second Corps, Brigadier General William Pendleton- Commander Army Reserve Artillery, and Major General J.E.B. Stuart- Commander Cavalry Division. Underneath them are men who served under them. From left to right is: John Bell Hood (under Longstreet)- Commander Texas Brigade, A.P. Hill (Under Jackson)- Commander 13th Infantry, William Nelson (under Pendleton)- Commader Nelson's Battalion, and       Fitzhugh Lee (Under Stuart)- Commander 1st Virginia Cavalry.

NOTE: The command was changed so many times it may not be perfectly accurate so I just had to choose 1 time in the history of the particular army.
