context_page_description: The United States Military Academy is an undergraduate college in West Point, New York that educates and commissions officers for the United States Army. Confederate President Jefferson Davis, himself a former officer and West Point graduate, preferred West Point trained officers for the Confederate States Army. Also included are a number of officers who were cadets at West Point but for reason unknown never graduated, such as Lewis Armistead. There are several familial relations between the officers, e.g. between members of the Lee family of Virginia. Other notable Confederate officers include James Longstreet, Stonewall Jackson, and J.E.B. Stuart.
