Origin[]
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson was a Confederate general and one of their leading commanders in the Civil War. He gained the moniker “Stonewall” from Brig. Gen. Barnard Elliott Bee, Jr. at the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas to the Confederates). "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall. Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer”. His strategies were bold and inventive, taking the Shenandoah Valley away from Union control and winning the Battle of Chancelorsville. However, his good fortune did not last, as he was shot in the hand by friendly fire at Chacelorsville. He survived the amputation of his arm but died eight days later from pneumonia. His death cause a great strategic and moral loss for Confederate troops, as he was one of the most competent leaders they had.
