Before the Civil War, one notable teacher at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) was Thomas J. Jackson, who later became known as "Stonewall" Jackson. He served as a professor of natural philosophy and mathematics at VMI from 1851 until the outbreak of the war in 1861. Jackson's teaching methods were rigorous, and he was respected for his intellectual abilities, which contributed to his later success as a Confederate general. His time at VMI significantly influenced both his educational approach and his military leadership.
