Both armies were temporarily disabled by Doc Brown's large electromagnet which took their guns from them. When the machine ceased working, the battle was back on and the forces nearly clashed. Just then Jules Brown was thrown into the middle of the field and Verne clutched him. The show of affection between brothers stopped the battle. Beauregard was reluctant at first to show mercy, but eventually he made a truce with Union General Ulysses S. Clayton. After the truce, Beauregard chased the time travelers back to the train. Sometime between 1864 and 1876, Beauregard became a civilian. Presumably his fate was similar to many officers of the Confederate Army, following defeat and the overthrow of the Confederated States of America in 1865, Confederate government officials and flag officers were blackballed and barred from future military service and ineligible for elected office. Tannen was astute enough to realize that his only hope for a good future was in business, and he arguably set forth his goals on becoming a business owner, acquiring a considerable sum of money. It is unknown whether or not he acquired the money legally or illegally. In 1876, Beauregard moved to Hill Valley, buying a plot of land with the intention of building a saloon there. A temporally displaced Edna Strickland set fire to the saloon, accidentally burning down the entire town in the process. Marty and Doc traveled back to 1876 from 1931A to prevent Edna from destroying the town. After a standoff between Edna and Beauregard, Edna fled the scene, leaving Beauregard to continue running his saloon. In 1931, a photo of Beauregard was used in the mind map test for the Mental alignment meter. Despite being a possible exception to his family, Beauregard being a Tannen (a family with member normally immoral) was meant to prompt a negative response from a Model Citizen.
