Jackson was nicknamed Stonewall from the words of Brigadier General Bee who called his unit to stand their ground when he spotted Jackson and his brigade reinforcing Henry House Hill. Jackson's brigade shared the nickname, becoming the Stonewall Brigade, a name they carried for the remainder of the war.
While there is controversy over the meaning of Bee's words, whether he was trying to boost the morale of faltering troops with the image, or whether he was castigating Jackson for not coming to Bee's troops aid as was planned is not clear. Bee died within minutes of speaking the words, but Jackson's unit suffered more casualties than any other that day.
