The governor’s order that only Georgian officers could command Georgia’s troops demonstrated a problem in the South because the Confederate military had difficulty organizing itself. This reflects the broader issue of states' rights limiting the central government's ability to effectively manage and coordinate military efforts.

As a result, the Confederate government often found it difficult to get things done. On one occasion, for example, the governor of Georgia insisted that only Georgian officers should command Georgian troops.
