At the First Battle of Bull Run, the Confederate forces under Gen. Thomas Jackson refused to cede control of the hill to the Union's 14th Brooklyn regiment. Confederate Brig. Gen. Barnard Bee gave Gen. Jackson his famous nickname "Stonewall Jackson" apparently in response to the stubborn resistance by Jackson and his men to hold the hill against repeated Union assaults. In the end, Confederate reinforcements forced the Northern troops into a disorganized retreat.
Bee was mortally wounded late in the battle, and there was some question whether he intended his "stone wall" comment as praise or scorn.
