Summary

Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard was one of the most recognizable Confederate generals of the American Civil War. From firing the opening shots at Fort Sumter to commanding at First Manassas and Shiloh, Beauregard became a symbol of the early war and the confidence of the South. This episode looks at his rise, his battlefield successes, his clashes with other Confederate leaders, and how his legacy became far more complicated as the war dragged on.
