Americans had long supported a tradition of militia and distrusted professional soldiers. However, by the time of the Civil War, the high command positions in the Union army and the nascent army of the Confederacy were filled with graduates of West Point, who had served in the Mexican War and who had been taught in the European military tradition. The sorts of campaigns the armies would wage, the rules of those engagements, the understandings of victory, all were in a sense predetermined by the military training and experience of the professionals called in to organize and lead the opposing sides. In examining the role of the institutional military in the Civil War, Hsieh makes use of manuals, reports, letters housed at West Point, newspapers, diaries, and numerous secondary sources. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 610 10 United States.|bArmy|xHistory|y19th century. 610 20 United States Military Academy|xAlumni and alumnae |vBiography. 650 0 Military art and science|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Mexican War, 1846-1848|xCampaigns. 650 0 Generals|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 651 0 United States|xHistory, Military|yTo 1900. 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|xCampaigns. 700 1 Hoye, Stephen.|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10025539?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781441702456_180.jpeg
