Family Feud television show

While watching an old Family Feud television show staring Richard Dawson from the 1970's a white family from England was playing a black family from the United States. The question was name a Civil War general. The black family buzzed in first and gave the 2nd answer General Grant. The Englishman said Robert E. Lee the number one answer.

However the English family decided to pass with two remaining answers. The black family ran out of time and the buzzer sounded. The second answer was Cornwall and again the buzzer sounded. The third answer was Lafayette and the third buzzer sounded and the English family tried to answer.

They answered with the 4th answer William T. Sherman. Richard Dawson revealed the 3rd answer which was Stonewall Jackson.

Since the top four answers were given by 100 audience members back in the 70's I doubt today if the answers would be the same.
