Best Answer

Confederate General Richard Garnett was arrested by his commanding officer, Stonewall Jackson after the loss at the First Battle of Kernstown in 1862. Jackson charged Garnett with retreating in that battle without asking permission to do so. Garnett remained in custody awaiting a court-martial. General Robert E. Lee asked Jackson to release Garnett as the Second Battle of Bull Run was soon to begin. Garnett was a loyal and competent brigadier general. He was killed at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
