(118,622 posts)4. Sorry. I was not clear. Was Beauregard a general for the South?
Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard
He was from New Orleans, hence the French name.
I used to think he was from the Revolutionary War because his name was French.

I'm getting sick and tired of hearing those Repub cracker good ole boys with that "friendly" southern drawl on the TV machine. It's the 21st Century. Slavery is dead. Tara was burned down. The Civil War is over and the South lost.
