At the start of the Civil War, the North had a greater number of trained military leaders, largely because many of the nation's military academies, including West Point, were located in the North. While the South had skilled leaders, many of whom were experienced from previous conflicts, the North benefitted from a higher concentration of military training and resources. This disparity contributed to the North's initial advantages in military organization and leadership.
