This was probably the war against Mexico and the Mexican dictator, Santa Anna. Many distinguished Civil War generals and heroes had their roots in this war. Robert E. Lee served as an artillery lieutenant in the war, and his career was followed with great interest by Winfield Scott. Later generals Longstreet and Picket both fought as lieutenants in the war, and Longstreet was wounded in the last major battle of the war.
