US Civil War Generals were hampered by the lack of trained staff officers. West Point graduates preferred commander positions so there was a lack of good staffers during the course of the four year war. One advantage the South had, however, was the fact there were at least 6 to 8 military academies, such as VMI and the one at Baton Rouge.Of course Stonewall Jackson taught at VMI. And, Union General Sherman was the superintendent at an academy at Baton Rouge. Later to become LSU.
