Mater tua scortum [NEW RESPONDENT] Stonewall was killed at Chancellorsville.

How did US President Lincoln inject himself into the conflicts in the Shenandoah Valley in 1862?

In early June of 1862, the outcome of the US Civil War was still in doubt despite the fact that the Confederacy had passed conscription laws to maintain and increase its military power in the field. That month also saw Confederate General Stonewall Jackson make himself a point of concern for the Union and also for President Lincoln who took a strong interest in military operations, especially ones close to home in Virginia. Lincoln was concerned for the safety of Washington DC after Stonewall Jackson had retaken Port Royal and was successful at Winchester. Forces under Union General James Shields and the troops under the command of the ever present John Fremont to seek out and destroy Jackson's army in the Shenandoah Valley. Via telegraph, Lincoln ordered Fremont to " move immediately and not to lose a minute" in destroying Jackson. Prodded by Lincoln, Fremont did move quickly, but Jackson was quicker. The bottomline in the Union's efforts were a tactical disaster. Jackson ended the attempts to thwart him by ultimately dividing and defeating the two Union armies sent to defeat him. This placed Stonewall Jackson in position to aid General Robert E. Lee in defending Richmond from Union General McClellan.


What impact did thomas Stonewall Jackson have in the civil war?

The triumphs of Robert E. Lee were really the triumphs of the Lee-Jackson partnership - Lee planning these bold thrusts, Jackson executing them. After Stonewall's death at Chancellorsville, at the midpoint of the war, neither Lee nor his army was ever the same again. It was also from this point that Lee's health began to decline, perhaps from this massive psychological blow.


How many kids did General Stonewall Jackson have?

Jackson's only child was a daughter, Julia Laura, who was six months old when her father died. She married William Christian in 1885, and died of typhoid fever in 1889. Her children were Julia Jackson Christian (1887-1991), who married Edmund R. Preston; and Thomas Jonathan Jackson Christian (1888-1952), who married three times. Both of Jackson's grandchildren had several children; thus there are many living descendants of Stonewall Jackson.

Who was Robert E. Lee best general?

The one he teamed-up best with was T.J. "Stonewall" Jackson.When Stonewall was killed at Chancellorsville, neither Lee nor his army was ever the same again. It may be no coincidence that Lee's health started to fail from this time, perhaps psychosomatic.Thomas Jackson was his best general. ----Lee worked most effectively with Stonewall Jackson, an eccentric genius, not popular with his men, and possibly a victim of assassination.

Why have some historians been critical of Confederate Lieutenant General Stonewall Jackson?

There is a universal opinion among US Civil War historians that Stonewall Jackson was a major force in the Confederate war to create an independent nation apart from the United States. Jackson, however, as with General Lee, have each been critical of various aspects of their leadership. In the case of Jackson, it is pointed out that he did not fit the organizational mold of General Lee's army.Jackson had basically been operating independently in the Shenandoah Valley prior to the Rebel raid into Maryland in 1862. Historians point out that Lee expected his generals to confer with him over any operations they planned to make. Jackson abhorred this expectation. In preparation for Lee's Maryland raid, Lee gave Jackson 24,000 troops to command, the largest number he had ever commanded. Lee had advised Jackson to consult thoroughly with his subordinate generals. This Jackson failed to do. Jackson's "secretive" ways maddened generals such as Hill, Winder, and Ewell among others.

How did the Battle of Chancellorsville affect the civil war?

The death of Stonewall Jackson was a body-blow to the Confederates. Neither Lee nor his army was ever the same after that. It may even have started Lee's heart-trouble.
