At the beginning of the war, the South had a distinct advantage in experienced officers. Most of the professional US Officer Corps was made up of southern aristocrats. Following Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, the southern states began drilling their state militias in fear of a slave rebellion or other armed conflict. So the advantage in trained personnel went to the South at the start of the war. Gradually, however, the North learned from experience. McClellan took the green volunteers and turned them into a highly competent force, especially after continual encounters with Southern forces. Grant learned how to command, and Sherman, along with Sheridan, Mead, and other northern commanders learned by trial and error until they became the equal of the southern commanders. Eventually the Anaconda Strategy and he overwhelming material advantage of the North came into play, and attrition worked in favor of the North.

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.

Who was the better supplied and dress soldier during the civil war?
The North by far. The North took the Industrial road while the South took the agricultural road. At the time more countries wanted industry rather than plants, so the north had a lot more importing and exporting going on. Which gave them the advantage of technology. Their only downfall was getting that technology to all of their soldiers. This was not possible. The south on the other hand had less soldiers and could then equip them with better technology. The south also had many major US generals for that time period. IF the north had had the generals that the south had, the war would have ended much quicker.
