At the beginning of the US Civil War, it became clear that the "Southern tradition" of military leaders proved that the South had better army commanders.
The South had superior generals. It also had a powerful patriotism and a belief in the justice of its cause.
At the beginning of the war the South had better generals than the North had.
One advantage was their superior industrial capacity, but the North also had a much larger population with which to replenish their losses.
Grant and Sherman
In three words: Northern military incompetence. The Union had a few good generals, Grant most notably, but most of the Union generals were outclassed by the Confederate generals. The North held every advantage in this war except for a surplus of competent 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.
the south was robert genral lee and the north was elmo
The two most famously known generals during the civil war were: South: Robert E. Lee North: Ulyess S. Grant
The main advantage of the North during the US Civil War was the number of soldiers in the army.
The major and most prominent generals in the US Civil War can be narrowed down to two generals. For the South the prominent general was Robert E. Lee. For the North it would be US Grant.
in the civil the south had better generals and knew the land better
Robert E. Lee for the south & Ulysses S. Grant for the north (even thought the north had a lot more generals)
This is a matter of opinion, but the South probably had the better generals at the start of the Civil War.
The most important Civil War generals were General Ulysses S. Grant for the North and General Robert E. Lee for the South.
Grant for the North, Lee for the South
Some of the famous generals in the civil war were, Robert E. lee of the south and Ulysses S. grant of the north. But there were also many othere famous generals such as William Sherman and Stonewall jackson.
The North had a superior population, and their army was much bigger than that of the South. Also, the North had lots of manufacturing capability, as the economy in the North was industrialized. The South had much more capable Generals than the North, and since most of the civil war was fought in the South, they knew the land better. The South couldn't make enough food and supplies for their army.
Lee for the South and Grant for the North were the most famous.
An advantage the North did not have is a "home-court advantage" which would allow for shorter supply and troop lines.
The south had the mental advantage, they were fighting for something and the north was just fighting against something. The north on the other hand had the materialistic advantage, they had factories, most of the population so they had a bigger army, basically the south had the most cotton and that was it.AnswerThe north had the larger population so that played a huge role. Also, the south had better generals than the north, but the south still had few people so the generals didn't really make up for the lack of soldiers. AnswerWell, since the North won the war, obviously their advantage was greater.
