If there was any doubt as to what Beauregard sought to imply, he later to chose to spell it out: the failure of the Confederacy lay with the Confederate president Jefferson Davis. In Jefferson Davis Generals, a team of the nations most distinguished Civil War historians present fascinating examinations of themen who led the Confederacy through our nations bloodiest conflict, focusing in particular on Jefferson Davis relationships with five key generals who held independent commands: Joseph E.
