This question could be answered in a few ways, but in my opinion the confederates of the south should have won the civil war. They outkilled the union by over 100,000 men but were outnumbered by nearly 120,000 men after Gettysburg so were forced to make an unwilling retreat.Also,when the confederates attacked Washington DC they could have taken over the capitol,but graciously didn't because after that tragic lose for the north they thought the north would leave them alone. It was that mistake that lot them the war.

What was the trend in age among US Civil War generals as the war progressed?

On an overall basis the trend in ages among US Civil War generals trended downwards. Because of retirement, resignations, and casualties the ages of generals on both sides trended downwards for both sides in the conflict. The ages of these generals at the beginning of the war were almost identical. Early in war the average ages drifted to between 43.6 to 44.8. At the end of the war, each side in the conflict had almost equal ages for generals, that being 42.4 years of age.
