# Mansfield Lovell

> Mansfield Lovell was a major general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. As military commander of New Orleans when the city unexpectedly fell to the Union Navy in 1862, Lovell was fiercely criticized by local citizens for failing to predict a naval invasion. The Confederate government also heaped blame on him, to deflect attention from their own error in leaving so few troops to defend the city. A court of inquiry later cleared him of charges of incompetence, but his reputation never recovered.

*Confederate Army general (1822–1884)*
