Confederate military operations in the Western Theater of the US Civil War had to deal with personalities and respect among a number of Southern generals. The complications that this brought about basically boiled down to the relationship between general Bragg, Johnston and Jefferson Davis.Due to the illness of Bragg's wife, he left the command of the Army of Tennessee to care for her. The appearance of General Joseph Johnston at the army's headquarters was based mostly on Jefferson Davis' desire to have Johnston permanently take charge of that army. Johnston also had an illness that hampered his ability to command. Nevertheless, Johnston had refused to take control of Bragg's army due to Johnston's respect for Bragg's accomplishments in the Mexican American War. He also did not believe that Bragg was incapable of leading an army. That was Johnston's personal belief. Johnston was also aware that Bragg reciprocated this respect. Johnston was aware that it was Bragg who lobbied the hardest to Davis to appoint Johnston as commander of all Confederate armies in the West.
