What war did general Joseph e johnston fight for?

In the Civil War, he was the most senior of the US Army Generals who resigned to join the Confederates, although ranked only fourth, for the dubious reason that his most recent service was on the staff and not in the line. He was a highly talented soldier who won the first battle of the war (Bull Run). But he quarrelled constantly with President Davis, and was eventually removed from hgh command. His memoirs are perhaps the most unreadable of any - surprising in such a highly educated man.


What advantages did the North have over the South in finding generals during the US Civil War?

Most US generals came from the ranks of the graduates of the US Military Academy at West Point, New York. The North had a larger pool of military trained men then did the South. The pool of officers was larger for the North, no doubt. However, on both sides the general pool was diluted due to the necessity of making political generals. On a ratio basis, it can be debated that the South had a higher quality of possible generals.


Who was a victorious Union general for the civil War?

There were a few victorious Union generals in the Civil War but most people would name Ulysses S. Grant first. It is true that Grant was the leader of all the armies of the north but Phillip Sheridan and William T. Sherman were just as important if not more so. Since Grant was in charge most of the praise goes to him, but he could not have done it without all the hard work of Sheridan and Sherman!
