We must remember that Jackson was only a Corps commander and that Lee only very rarely took strategic advice from his corps commanders. Tactical,yes. Logistic, yes. Strategic, no. History has been kind to T.J. Jackson. Dedicated students of the war know that Jackson was as apt to blunder as he was to shine. He and Lee worked well together because they both favored an offensive strategy. The answer is: We'll never know, but it is fun to speculate. My take is that maybe he would have taken Culp's hill day one, Meade would have wrecked his army in futile assaults, and I am living in what would be known as The Republic of Georgia (because the South would look like Europe).
