I guess you should of been there, that way you could of prevented Linclon from fleeing to New York right after Bull Run. Beauregard wanted to, Davis said no. Can we agree on that?
No, we can't.
"After nightfall, Davis met with his two generals at Beauregard's headquarters. They exchanged congratulations; the president promoted Beauregard to full general and asked about plans for pursuit. After some discussion, the three men recognized the impossibility of pressing forward in any organized fashion. The First Battle of Manassas, or in Union terminology the First Battle of Bull Run, was over. After this battle as after so many Civil War battles to follow, the victorious army was too spent and too disorganized to follow up its tactical victory with effective pursuit." - from "Jefferson Davis, American" by William C. Davis, page 348-349.
