Southern naval fate is tied to Civil War ranks
The Washington Star argues Southern states likely will not yield naval heroes from the current war. Most high grade officers served in the Civil War, with few Southerners appointed to key commands. It notes Dewey as a Vermonter, Sampson from New York, and shows South’s limited representation among captains, admirals, and lieutenants. The piece asserts future openings may come to Southern officers, and praises the volunteer army prospects with leaders Fitz Lee and Fighting Joe Wheeler.
