The key flanking attack by Confederate Stonewall Jackson on Union General Hooker's forces turned the tide in favor of the Southern army. Jackson fooled Union General into thinking that he was retreating from the battle as he moved his men southwards. Jackson was planning a surprise attack instead. His closest Union adversary, General Sickles informed General Hooker of the apparent retreat. Hooker and his top commanders became complacent. Undetected, Jackson's force then turned and moved forward. His astounding flank attack on the surprised Federals caused them to retreat and the battle was lost.
Stonewall Jackson was under constant pressure by Union armies trying to end Jackson's dominance in the Shenandoah Valley. At one point he decided to split his forces and ordered General Richard Stoddert Ewell to stay behind and guard the important junction of Cross keys. On June 8, 1862, Ewell was confronted by Union General John Fremont's army of 10, 500 troops. Ewell had but 6,500 men but was able to execute Jackson's orders and Fremont's army was denied any more progress.
General Stonewall Jackson played a crucial role in the Battle of Fredericksburg, which took place in December 1862 during the American Civil War. He commanded a significant portion of the Confederate forces, including his famous corps, and was instrumental in holding the high ground against Union attacks. His defensive strategies and effective use of terrain helped repel repeated assaults by Union troops, contributing to a decisive Confederate victory. Jackson's leadership and tactical acumen were pivotal in maintaining Confederate positions throughout the battle.
Stonewall Jackson was the most able commander of Confederate infantry of the war. He was one of those men who seem to naturally understand war, he was an aggressive general and he was unshakable in battle. In the Shanendoah campaign, his rag-tag army ran circles and defeated around three armies sent to stop him, each bigger than his own. He and his men were superb on the attack and were hard marchers. Jackson drove his men HARD, often 20+ miles a day, eventually his men earned the nickname "foot cavalry". He play the pivotal role in some of the Lee's most pivotal campaigns where it really is hard to see any other general being able to do the samething.
