General P.G.T. Beauregard fought on the Confederate side.
Joe JohnstonAnswerThe Confederate commander at First Bull Run was PGT Beauregard. The Confederate commander at Second Bull Run was Robert E. Lee. With regard to the first answer: First Bull Run swayed back and forth until Joe Johnston's reinforcements arrived by train to finally ensure a Confederate victory. Later, Johnston and Beauregard quarreled about who had won the battle. Technically, Beauregard was the Confederate commander at First Bull Run, but he likely would have lost the battle without Johnston and his army arriving in the nick of time.
The battle of Fort Sumter has an interesting story behind it. The two generals fighting in it were student and teacher General Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard (the student) attacked the teacher Major general Robert Anderson. Neither one wanted to attack the other but it was both of their duties to do so. The actual battle began at 4:30 am on April 12, 1861. It is the first shots (more like cannons) fired of the Civil War. The man who said the order was Edmund E. Ruffin. PGT Beauregard asked Maj. Anderson to surrender the fort but he couldn't. There were no causualties(deaths) except for a Confederate horse. The actual building suffered minimal damage in this battle for the walls of the fort were 10 feet thick. The battle lasted 34 hours and 3,000 cannonballs were fired.
