Perhaps the best known Northerner who became a Confederate general was John Clifford Pemberton. He was a native of Philadelphia and reached the rank of major general in the Confederate army. His birth in Philadelphia forever remained a dark cloud over his head in the views of many Southerners. Some historians label him as a classic example of the Peter Principle. He rose to the level of his own incompetence. Despite the fact that he had never led any major Rebel force in combat, he was given the assignment to command Vicksburg.

What kind of drilling did Native Americans in the Confederate army receive?
The US's District of Indian Territory became a modest area for recruiting by the Confederacy. Many Native Americans saw Washington DC as their enemy and the South had a degree of success in finding recruits among the Native American population.
