George Pickett led the ill-fated charge known as Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg. The charge took place on July 3, 1863, and was a Confederate infantry assault against Union forces. Pickett's Charge ultimately failed and resulted in heavy losses for the Confederate Army.

Pickett himself was a General. But the army commander was Robert E. Lee.
Robert Edward Lee was the chief general in charge of the Confederate Army and all of its affairs. I hope i was of some help. :P
Henry S. Farley, a Lieutenant, fired the first shot at Fort Sumter. The Battle of Fort Sumter marked the beginning of the American Civil War.
Major Anderson was the commander of Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor, South Carolina, where the Confederates fired the first shot starting the Civil War.
I don't think they appointed a supreme commander. Robert E. Lee was in charge of the army in the East and was undoubtedly their leading general. Jefferson Davis was the president - I do not know if he was commander-in-chief of military forces like the US president.
The goal of Confederate attacking troops (the divisions of Generals George Pickett, James Pettigrew and Isaac Trimble ) was that to break through the center of the Union line on the Cemetery Ridge.
