General Beauregard was a Southern general.
He was a General for the Confederacy during the Civil War. He was also involved in the Mex-American War. Actually, Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard was the general who fired on Ft. Sumter, the action that started the Civil War. From Louisiana, Beauregard was a West Point graduate. A member of the engineer corps, he was sent to Mexico and fought with distinction at many of the major battles of the Mexican War. He resigned his commission with the Army of the United States in February of 1861. After capturing Ft. Sumter, Beauregard went on to command at the First Battle of Manassas (Bull Run), at Shiloh and at Petersburg, Virginia. He was in charge of the defense of Charleston, S.C. and the Military District of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. He commanded the forces in South Carolina and Georgia that were trying to stop Sherman on his March to the Sea and was joint commander with Joe Johnston against Sherman in North Carolina, where they finally surrendered their forces to Sherman in April of 1865.
After the Battle of Shiloh, Union General Ulysses S. Grant, in coordination with General William Tecumseh Sherman, pressured Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard to evacuate Corinth, Mississippi. The Union forces launched a series of maneuvers and attacks that effectively surrounded the city, leading to Beauregard's decision to retreat in May 1862 to avoid encirclement and potential capture. This strategic Union victory secured a crucial rail junction for the North.

The Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861 involved key figures such as Major Robert Anderson, the Union commander stationed at the fort, and Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard, the Confederate commander who ordered the attack. Their actions marked the beginning of the Civil War, with Anderson's decision to hold the fort despite limited supplies and Beauregard's strategic assault leading to its eventual surrender. The conflict highlighted the deepening divide between the North and South and set the stage for the war that followed.
The first battle fought on July 21, 1861, was the First Battle of Bull Run, also known as the First Battle of Manassas. It was the first major land battle of the American Civil War, occurring in Virginia near the Bull Run River. The Confederate forces, led by General Pierre G.T. Beauregard and General Joseph E. Johnston, achieved a decisive victory against the Union troops under General Irvin McDowell, signaling that the war would be longer and more brutal than initially anticipated. This battle shattered the North's hopes for a swift victory and boosted Southern morale.
