1. Title: General Braxton Bragg: A Commanding Figure in the American Civil War General Braxton Bragg, a prominent Confederate military leader during the American Civil War, is depicted in this half-length portrait. The photograph, taken between 1861 and 1865 and printed later, captures the intensity and determination in Bragg's eyes, reflecting his strategic mind and unwavering commitment to the Confederate cause. Born on March 22, 1812, in Warrenton, North Carolina, Bragg rose through the ranks of the United States Army before resigning in 1861 to join the Confederate States Army. He quickly distinguished himself as a formidable commander, leading his troops to several significant victories during the early years of the war. One of Bragg's most notable achievements came in the fall of 1863, when he successfully defended Chattanooga, Tennessee, against Union forces under the command of General Ulysses S. Grant. However, Bragg's victory was short-lived, as he was later criticized for his handling of the Battle of Chickamauga, which took place just a few weeks later. Despite this setback, Bragg continued to serve the Confederacy, eventually surrendering to Union forces in May 1865. Bragg's military career was marked by both triumphs and controversies. In this portrait, we see a man who, despite the complexities and challenges of his military tenure, remains a compelling figure in the annals of American history. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the passion and conviction that defined the Civil War era, as well as the indelible impact of its most influential commanders.
