 What were the most overrated units of the war? Use whatever definition of overrated you please.

My votes:

1. Iron Brigade

2. Irish Brigade

3. Stonewall Brigade

Lots of publicity but nothing special about their combat records. I don't mean to denigrate them, they were unbelievably brave, but there were plenty of other units just as deserving of attention and some probably with better combat records.
