I don't know the exact answer BUT I do know of four answers that will lower it down for you a lot. Why? Because two of them are the answer! Answer 1: He proved incapable of leading an inferior army. Answer 2: He always fought with Lincoln over policies. Answer 3: He was overly cautious as battles neared. Answer 4: He always believed he was outnumbered. I know your thinking, why don't I just give you the answer, that's what this site is for?! The answer to that is, because I do not know the answer, I am in school and have a multiple choice question. Those answers were the four answers I had to choose from, and 2 of them are correct. Hope it help's at least a little.
