Talk:P.G.T. Beauregard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Wierd how he was in favor of slaves afterwards... Hippocrit?

It may seem that way from a 21st century perspective, but possibly not. He seems to have joined the Confederacy because he considered his country to be Louisiana, not from a personal desire to promote slavery. Of course it's hard to second guess how someone thought in such a very different time and place. -- Infrogmation 16:01, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Virginia has a street named after Beauregard

Virginia should stop naming its streets after Confederate bigots like Beauregard. Virginia has a street named "Lee Highway." This is a traitorous thing.

Did you bother to read the article? Unlike many other prominent Confederates, Beauregard was fairly progressive, at least by 19th century standards. And if you don't like having something named after a Confederate General, say the street commemorates him as the inventor of the cable-car. :-) Cheers, -- Infrogmation 16:01, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
