Johnston was a 19th-century American Army officer who served as a Confederate States Army general, even though he trained at West Point. However, his military acumen was wrecked and constantly criticized by Confederate President Jefferson Davis with whom Johnston was very displeased. Following his service time as a military officer, Johnston wrote and published his own memoirs memoirs which were mostly attacks on President Davis and other officers, as well as defending his own actions and decisions during the Civil War.

Often criticized for a perceived lack of aggressiveness, J.E. Johnston is still seen as one of most controversial Confederate military figures. He assumed command immediately following secession and continued in one capacity or another until the very end, when he surrendered to Sherman in April 1865. It was Johnston who recommended a fighting withdrawal against Sherman during his infamous March to the Sea. The Confederacy's refusal to implement this strategy led to John Bell Hood's disastrous defeat at Atlanta. Eicher 257. In Tall Cotton 101.
