Before the Civil War, Lewis Armistead served as a soldier in the United States Army and held various military positions. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1844 and spent time as a second lieutenant in the infantry. Additionally, he also worked in the Mexican-American War, where he gained experience and recognition. In the years leading up to the Civil War, he was stationed at various posts, honing his military skills.
Lewis Armistead was expelled from West Point in 1833 due to his poor academic performance and his failure to adhere to military discipline. Known for his rebellious spirit, he struggled with the rigorous demands of the institution, which ultimately led to his dismissal. Despite this setback, Armistead went on to have a notable military career, serving as a Confederate general during the American Civil War.
