Almost none of the new Generals had any training at high levels.

Many were Colonels left over from the Mexican War, fifteen years earlier - a dubious qualification, as the Confederates found when they made Jefferson Davis President.

The challenge was to choose and use largely untrained officers. Lincoln proved better than Davis at this.
