The very best on our time --Rommel

Well, you are consistent. So far, you have shown profound ignorance on every subject upon which you have bleated.

Lafayette?

I think I agree with Hannibal.

As far as Grant, I don't think he was even the best during the Civil War. Maybe not even the best northern commander. He had numbers on his side and won by merely throwing men at the enemy.

Hard to tell about American generals because the role of the general has changed so much.

I say hannibal but some would say scipio because of his great defeat of hannibal at zama. But the victory was only won because hannibal was betrayed. Besides scipio mearly reorganized the roman army to the model of hannibal. And no other general has ever beaten as great a force as hannibal did in italy using his head(strategy).

That is true. Unfortunately, because he was such a good general, the Civil War lasted, IMO, at least 2 years longer than it should have...with a large number of the casualties being in those final 2 years. How many people wouldn't have died, wouldn't have suffered if he had not prolonged the inevitible?

Doesn;t it depend on the period or war?

Lee and Napoleon. Grant, too. You can put MacArthur in for WWII but he became a disgrace in Korea. Then there's Alexander, Julius Caesar, Rommel, and Giap.

Butler was a great patriot and warrior but hard to add him with the great strategists.

Robert E. Lee is greatly over-rated. Partly, this is because the opposing generals were mostly incompetent. Lee was very good at "x's and O's," but he was not very good at the more mundane essentials like organization and logistics. He was good at flying by the seat of his pants, but his failures on big offensives (Gettysburg and ... damn, forgot the name ... the one for Maryland copperheads) showed his flaws.

I say Grant, OTOH, is under-rated. Yeah, he had advantages in men and material, but he made good use of them. He was good at organization (or at least delegated to those who were) and at persistence. He also kept the objective in mind.
