I believe it can safely be said that each president was far to much involved in the conduct of the US Civil War. Both men called for military operations that were not militarily sound. As one example, Lincoln's preoccupation of capturing Richmond, yet not supplying his generals with enough troops to accomplish this delayed the fall of Richmond until very late in the war. On the other hand, one example of Jefferson Davis' "hands on" strategy prevented him from delegating many operational duties to a general in chief hampered his generals. Davis even vetoed a Confederate act that sought to create this position. It was created in 1865, and much too late to affect the war.
