Abstract:

Bragg was the only North Carolinian to achieve the full rank of general during the Civil War. Many controversies remain in connection with the campaigns he waged. No one could doubt his courage, but his greatest liability was his failure to follow-up his success on the battlefield and reap the fruits of victory at places like Perryville, Kentucky and Chattanooga, Tennessee.
