The University of Alabama has a long and distinguished history tracing its roots to the Civil War with the establishment of the Alabama Corps of Cadets in 1860, which produced officers for the Confederacy. Known as the “West Point of the South” the Corps of Cadets supplied Confederate armies with 7 generals, 25 colonels, 14 lieutenant colonels, 21 majors, 125 captains and 273 staff and other commissioned officers.
