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.
Who gave General Stonewall Jackson the nickname of Stonewall at the Battle of the First Bull Run?
It was a Confederate officer, Brigadier-General Barnard Bee at Bull Run (Manassas), the war's first major battle. He is known to have shouted "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall!", and then supposedly added "Rally behind the Virginians!" That is the favorable interpretation of the nickname - praising Jackson for holding his position at a bad moment in the battle. Others have claimed that he was criticizing Jackson for not coming across to help Bee's own brigade. At any rate, Bee was mortally wounded later the same day, so nobody was able to ask him which version he meant!
