How would one make Patrick Cleburne, perhaps one of the best Generals in the Confederate States, head of the ANV.
Also, with him as a Major General at Perryville, what would happen?

Cleburne had a different mindset than Lee and would prefer to defend, defend, defend, rather than attack. He was called the Stonewall of the West, after all.

So he want s to bleed the Union Army to death. Yes. It was perferable to invading the North and getting casualties that hurt the South more than the North, after all.

Pre-Gettysburg, Any invasion of Virginia was very costly to Union Forces and with enough casualties, there will be peace riots in the north.
