The Confederate President, Jefferson Davis (an ex-soldier), gave the order to fire on Fort Sumter - the first shots of the war.
The order was carried out by General P.G.T. Beauregard, who was also in command at the war's first pitched battle, Manassas (Bull Run). Although there was some disagreement with General Joseph E. Johnston over seniority at this battle, Johnston did concede some authority to Beauregard, because of the latter's familiarity with the terrain.
