Comparing Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott Both Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott can be considered as two of the most efficacious American military commanders, their successes most arguably tied to the victories they achieved during the Mexican-American War. The conjectural question concerning who is the better commander is thus immediately complicated by the skill and prowess of both men. Scott was recognized as a war hero by the conclusion of the 1812 conflict; furthermore, he was a keen student of military strategy, for example, traveling to France in order to study the French army in person. Taylor’s biography is no less impressive. Scott himself recommended to U.S. President Polk that Taylor lead the northern campaign in the Mexican-American war, demonstrating Scott’s high regard for Taylor as a military man. The southern offensive during this same war was led by Scott, thus further showing the entanglement of their respective biographies. Insofar as both Taylor and Scott were enormously successful in Mexico, it is the context of this war that perhaps provides the best possibility to evaluate these men in a similar setting. It can be suggested that Taylor’s task in the war, however, was more arduous and thus his successes in this conflict were greater, to the extent that Scott’s subsequent victories in the South were arguably made possible by Taylor’s victories in the North. In this regard, when selecting a preferred commander between the two, it is perhaps best to follow Scott’s own lead and select Taylor.
