Best Answer

Thomas Jackson got the nickname of Stonewall Jackson at the First Battle of Bull Run.
General Thomas Jackson, for his refusal to come to the aid of General Bee and General Bartow, both of whom were subsequently killed in action. Earlier, Bee had made a derogatory comment about Jackson standing on the hill like a stone wall [while his men and Bartow's men were being killed]. Yet, Jackson resisted the Union advance until Confederate reinforcements arrived, and the nickname "Stonewall" became complimentary after that.
