It is interesting how many had real friendships with their former foes.

That doesn’t matter. We don’t care about history. He lived during the civil war so his statue had to come down.

And they still pulled his statue near City Park in NOLA…some people would rather delete history than really discuss it.

He also ran the campaign of the first black candidate for state office. Then he helped establish the public school system, a state lottery, and the street car system.
PGT Beauregard was exactly what we should aspire to be, not someone that should be virtually erased from history.

He also had close ties with the Louisiana Lottery Company, which drove the corrupt Bourbon political machine in New Orleans.
He command the bombardment of Fort Sumter, so he won't ever get any forgiveness from most.

He was also likely, at least in part, black.

Longstreet was arguably the South’s best general yet there are no monuments to him for some reason

Amache national historic site formally established as America's newest national park
Internment camps are an important part of American history that needed to be preserved. Statues must not qualify.

“As a nation, we must face the wrongs of our past in order to build a more just and equitable future. The Interior Department has the tremendous honor of stewarding America’s public lands and natural and cultural resources to tell a complete and honest story of our nation’s history,” said Secretary Haaland, who visited the Amache site in February 2022. “Today’s establishment of the Amache National Historic Site will help preserve and honor this important and painful chapter in our nation’s story for future generations.”

If you can’t distinguish the difference of an actual internment camp site and statues put up by the UDC and SCV camps in the late 19th and early 20th centuries then I can’t help you.
However, when the press release for said new park starts off with “Just and Equitable.” then I lose interest immediately. Those are con-words for taking money and handing it to cons.

Most of the officers had fought together, before they fought for their home states. The allegiances were more state than federal or country. Still a young country.
Others like Custer stayed in and fought in the Indian wars. Sherman, Cook and others .....

Totally off topic but for decades Longstreet was the fall guy for Gettysburg because Lee was untouchable. But the reality is that Lee fell under the timeless trap of believing his accomplished troops could do anything and he eschewed Longstreet’s advice at Gettysburg and then Longstreet had to try to make chicken salad out of the chicken shite plan Lee handed him.

Union attorneys filed frivolous lawsuits against them until they were all in prison or bankrupt.

That is because most of the confederate monuments were put up by democrats and Longstreet joined the republican party after the civil war. He was considered to be a scalawag which was worse than a carpetbagger by southerners in the late 1800s.

So did General Nathan Bedford Forrest. All American kids are taught, if they are taught anything at all, is that he was some racist black killer.
