Born 5-28-1818 Died 2-20-1893. Not related to taking a stand for the most part, put had many great accomplishments during his life. One of his arguably greatest achievements was when he defended Petersburg, Virginia from the Union. This battle was just like Bull Run, the Union was trying to get to Richmond. Beauregard, not friends with many confederate generals, was able to convince everyone that the war needed to end. Once he was able to convince everyone to give most of their armies to William Sherman, a major general at the time. "Following his career, Beauregard was one of the few wealthy Confederate veterans because of his role in promoting the Louisiana Lottery" Civilwar.org
