West Point Academy
Some critics of the West Point graduates claim the academy created a class of separate elite officers who made sure they protected each other in terms of the wars they fought in.One serious but untrue criticism was that the General in Chief Winfield Scott made sure that the graduates from his home state of Virginia were promoted faster and that he leaned towards the Southern graduates. This was well before the outbreak of the US Civil War.
Union generals McClellan, Burnside and Hooker were all graduates of West Point and all of them had been appointed by President Lincoln to lead the Army of the Potomac. Each of them had also been relieved of being commander of that same army. In order there was 1. McClellan 2. Burnside and 3. Hooker.
