Even though General in Chief Winfield Scott had spent more than 50 years in the US army, he originally came from Virginia and retained a certain identity as a southerner. Many Radical Republicans believed that for nearly twenty years before the outbreak of the US Civil War, Scott had molded the US army into a Southern clique.

This they claimed caused many Northern West Point graduates to resign from the US army.
