In the Civil War, at lower levels of military command

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amateur officers played important roles in both the Union and Confederate armies at lower levels of military command. This is because the Civil War resulted in a sudden expansion of the armies, leading to a need for more officers, some of whom lacked formal military training. As a result, many civilian volunteers were appointed to higher ranks, and some were able to prove themselves as effective leaders.
