Other way round. The Confederates had attracted some of the best officers away from the US Army, while the North was struggling to find successful commanders. (One reason for Lee's early success was that he was facing Union Generals who were not in his league.) The only endemic trouble with the Southern Generals was their eternal feuding.
Jefferson Davis - not a success, partly because he had wanted to be General-in-Chief and turned out a bad chooser and user of Generals.
Battle of the Bulge
when did the greatest American military success of the war of 1812 come
US military intervention has been a success in some situations and a failure in others. Some of the successes include the intervention during the First World War, while a failure was the intervention in Somalia.

the military and political leadership of Toussaint Louverture
Because Britain and France were planning to back the Confederates.
Zachary Taylor, Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight Eisenhower were elected mostly because of their success as generals in the army.
He was one of the greatest generals and statesman of all time. Despite all of his military success, his legacy to the modern world was the creation of the Napoleonic Code.
One triumphant piece of logic was his method of keeping the British from sending military aid to the Confederates (which he was seriously worried about.) By officially turning the war into a crusade against slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation, he made it politically impossible for free nations abroad to help the Confederates, because it would make them look pro-slavery. Otherwise, his successes were not especially rooted in rational deduction but in his sheer human greatness - his towering character and physical presence, his strong team leadership, his skilful political footwork, and (eventually) his success at appointing good Generals. Jefferson Davis, the Confederate President, had none of these virtues, and was increasingly shown to be out of his depth.

When General Rosencrans left Virginia to take control of the Army of the Mississippi, this placed him under control of Major General US Grant. At first Rosencrans was a success. He fought his first battle as the commander of the Mississippi at Iuka, Mississippi. Although he won the battle, he did not pursue the retreating Confederates as Grant had ordered. This problems increased after the Battle of Corinth. Rosencrans was the victor, however, once again, Rosencrans failed to pursue the retreating Confederates. This worsened the relationship between the two generals.
One key advantage the North lacked was the number of generals who could serve a "general in chief " of the entire Union military. Lincoln had to appoint, then relieve far too many generals whom he appointed to take on that responsibility with success. Finally, Lincoln appointed General Grant to handle that assignment and Grant succeeded where the former generals failed.
