List of American Civil War generals (Confederate) facts for kids

The American Civil War (1861-1865) was a major conflict in the United States. During this war, the Confederate States of America had many military leaders known as generals. These generals were appointed in a similar way to how generals are chosen today. The President would suggest a person, and then the Senate would need to agree. Once approved, the general would receive their official papers.

Sometimes, generals were given their rank even if they had died shortly before the approval. This was a way to honor their service. Unlike the Union Army, the Confederate Army didn't have "brevet" generals, which were temporary ranks. However, they did have some acting or temporary generals who served important roles.

Some generals had their rank dates set before their actual appointment. This was allowed by the Confederate Congress. At the beginning of the war, general appointments were usually quick. But in the last two years, it often took longer for the Senate to approve them.

This list shares information about the Confederate generals. It includes details about their military training, past jobs, and important events they were part of. It also mentions if they were wounded or died during the war.
