It is fairly common knowledge than many of the war’s great commanders were classmates together at West Point.

Such commanders influenced the course of the war by drawing upon their West Point education, and while they may have held different military outlooks, they all drew upon the teachings of one man: Dennis Mahan, professor of mathematics …
