Description

General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard was among the senior commanders of Southern forces throughout the Civil War. It was he who led the aggressions by starting war on Ft. Sumter in Charleston harbor, in April 1861.

In July of that same year, having taken control of the Confederate Army of the Potomac, he won in the first life-threatening warfare, at Manassas, Virginia. His army, assisted by reinforcements from Johnston’s army in the Shenandoah Valley, directed a Federal army under General McDowell. Had it been his army in its place that directed, it is probable the Civil War may have concluded that year, as the way to Richmond would have been broad and extensive.

This is his life account of the Civil War, such as the deliberate circumstance heading up to it. After that, he included a most divulging assessment of the connections among him and Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and the questions why, in his belief, the South was futile to triumph over the war.

Beauregard led armies in the Western Theater, such as at the Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee, and the Siege of Corinth in northern Mississippi. He went back to Charleston and garrisoned it in 1863 from recurrent naval and land outbreaks by Union forces. His highest feats was keeping the significant industrial city of Petersburg, Virginia, in June 1864, and therefore the near Confederate capital of Richmond, from attacks by prodigiously condescending Union Army forces.

His authority over Confederate strategy was decreased by his meager professional relations with President Jefferson Davis and other senior generals and officials. In April 1865, Beauregard and his commander, General Joseph E. Johnston, persuaded Davis and the enduring cabinet members that the battle necessitated to conclude.
