We never thought we'd see the day that some enterprising Twitter user decided to assign Muppet lookalikes to prominent Civil War generals, but it's officially come. On September 6th,  Phd candidate @CNZander began their humorous journey, introducing the world of Twitter to the fact that Braxton Bragg bears an uncanny resemblance to Sam the Eagle. Even more amusing? That General Custer had curls that nearly rival Miss Piggy. We've included some of the astute tweets in this gallery, but you can check out the thread for more whimsical and historical goodness.
