"relatively inexperienced"?

The Second and Eleventh Mississippi had served in every action of the army in Virginia from Manassas forward. They had served in Whiting's (later Law's) Brigade with the Fourth Alabama and Hood's Texas Brigade from the Peninsula Campaign forward. They broke the center of the Federal line at Gaines Mill and threw Hooker back at Sharpsburg.

If these men weren't experienced soldiers, Lee had none.
