General Joseph Johnston and President Jefferson Davis had personal problems with each other that predated the US Civil War. These problems can be summarized as follows:* Rumors had it that Davis and Johnston did not get along with each other at West Point;* In the 1850's when Davis was the US secretary of war, Johnston believed that Davis held back his promotions and status in the US army; and* In 1861, as president of the Confederacy, Davis made it clear that generals Cooper, Albert Johnston, Lee and Beauregard, were equal in rank, however, Davis placed Joseph Johnston as a "last among equals".As an aside, when Lee took over during the Peninsula campaign, Johnston never regained his status in the East. Also, Johnston was relieved of command during the Atlanta campaign for being "too timid" against Union General Sherman.
