What caused the North to have better commanding officers than the South during the US Civil War?
Most historians give the South the advantage in military leadership, at least at the beginning of the war. A disproportionate number of West Point graduates resigned their commissions and headed south at the beginning of the war. Robert E. Lee for example was offered the command of all Union forces before he resigned. Union generalship improved in the Eastern Theater of War over time. In the West, however, Grant, with the aid of his favorite subordinate, Sherman, seized the initiative early on and racked up an impressive string of Union victories, at a huge cost in human lives. Eventually Lincoln brought Grant East to face Lee. Grant could rely on Meade and Sheridan to carry out his orders because the lesser commanders had been weeded out by time and attrition.
