Who was the first Confederate General to die in battle?
Robert S. Garrett holds that distinction. The most important Southern General killed was Albert Sidney Johnson at Shiloh. At the time of his death, he was considered the best commander in the South, possibly the most talented commander in either army. Davis thought more highly of him than he did of Lee.
Which late battle of 1864 did six confederate generals die?
The Battle of Franklin, Tennessee. It also killed Confederate morale, when it turned out to have been unnecessary after all. The commander of the Union troops, General Schofield, was not trying to hold that position. He was tactically retreating to Nashville, to join George Thomas's strongly-fortified garrison, from which they would be able to resist any Confederate advance. Sure enough, the Confederates were completely routed and scattered when they got to Nashville. The battle confirmed Jefferson Davis's error in replacing Joe Johnston with John B. Hood as Confederate commander. Hood was a heroic heads-down fighter, fully in the Confederate mould. But he was not suited to high command. By that point in the war, Lincoln had learned to choose good Generals. Davis never did.
