Robert E. Lee and Stone Wall Jackson.
The Union Commanders was Scott. He formulated the Anaconda Plan.
US Civil War commanders relied on a system of linear tactics to form and maneuver their battlefield forces. The origins of that system were developed in Europe during the 1600's. As time passed changes were made, however, its basics remained and were used by both sides in the US Civil War.

During the Mexican-American War, the US was highly effective when using the tactical offensive against the armies of Santa Anna. This idea carried on through the 1850's. It was no surprise then, that US Civil War commanders sought the tactical offensive whenever it was possible.
It was not uncommon for rogue commanders to have prisoners executed. This was true for both sides of the conflict.
The duration of Commanders at War is 3600.0 seconds.
