In the first two years of the War, the Union had the better generals in the west, and the Confederacy had better generals in the east. Once Grant became commander of the Union army, and Sherman was elevated to command of the west, the quality of generalship was essentially even between the two sides. At that point, the Northern advantages in manufacturing, manpower, transportation, and naval power became insurmountable for the South, even with people like Lee and Forrest as their generals.
