Who were some of the confederate general won the first major battle of the civil war?

Answer 1

The first major battle of the US Civil War took place near the Bull Run stream near Manassas. In late Summer of 1861, Rebel forces under the command of generals Beauregard and Johnston led the Rebel army to a victory.

Answer 2

Clearly the April bombardment of the Federal Fort Sumter in the Charleston, South Carolina harbor was the event that began a series of events that led to the onset of the US Civil War. The attack on Fort Sumter forced President Lincoln to call for 75,000 volunteers to end the Southern rebellion. Because of his announcement, four other Southern slave states joined the Confederacy.Based on all that transpired between Fort Sumter and July 18, 1861, the first battle of major significance was the First Battle of Bull Run. On the Confederate side, the battle plan was drawn up by Major General PT Beauregard. He did this at the request of Major General Joseph Johnston.

It can be fairly stated that both Southern generals are given the credit for the Confederate victory.

Answer 3

The first battle of the American Civil War was the battle of Fort Sumner; the Confederate commander was Brigadier General Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard.

Answer 4

If you mean Fort Sumter, it was P.G.T. Beauregard.

If you mean Bull Run/Manassas, it was Joseph E. Johnston - with a little help from Beauregard!

Answer 5

First Bull Run (Manassas) was won by the Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, who ceded some authority to P.G.T. Beauregard, on account of the latter's close familiarity with the terrain.
