90% of the posts on patriots.win are hyping up Israel’s incoming war on Iran. I knew the site was mostly pozzed on Israel, but good lord.

Leadership.
It's been a while since I've done my classes on military history, but IIRC, post 1812 is when you saw the development of dedicated military academies that would actively train for military leadership.
All the who's-who of the Civil War on both sides were cut from that cloth. No 1812, and you'd probably get a much different environment in terms of military leadership.
Could be wrong, though. This is mostly my musings off the cuff.
That's possible. Though, West Point already existed before the war. Not sure how many other major training facilities would have already been built anyway.
