For most of the war, the Confederate armies had no overall leader.

Their President, Jefferson Davis (an ex-regular soldier), tried to fulfil that role, but proved to be a poor chooser and user of generals.

Not till 1865 did he appoint a General-in-Chief - the obvious candidate, Robert E. Lee - but by then it was too late to salvage the war situation.
