How did the Confederate evacuation of Corinth affect Southern General PTG Beauregard?
In June of 1862, Confederate President Jefferson Davis replaced PTG Beauregard with Braxton Bragg. Davis believed that Beauregard was not aggressive enough and should have made a stand at Corinth. A closer look at the situation reveals that the surprise evacuation was the best thing that could be done. If a siege had been placed on Corinth, Beauregard's small army in comparison to the Union troops chasing him, would have been captured. Beauregard chose to retreat from Corinth to fight another day.

Lee would only be answerable to him in his new position.
