Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson (January 1824 to May 1863) was one of the best-known Confederate commanders during the American Civil War. He became a general on June 17, 1861, after his raid on the B&O railroad station.
Stonewall Jackson had a difficult childhood. His father died when he was young and his mother died several years later. He lived with his uncle who allowed him to work on the farm and seek education when he had time.

Stonewall Jackson General Andrew Jackson: 'Stonewall' is Thomas & was not born until 1824....
Jackson was born and raised in Virginia, in a part of the state that became West Virginia in 1863, when the western part of Virginia seceded from Virginia to become West Virginia.
At the Battle of First Manassas, General Bernard Bee, in order to rally his men, proclaimed, "Look! There's Jackson standing like a stonewall! Rally behind the Virginians!". Bee was later killed but the name stuck with Jackson to this day.
US Civil War generals Stonewall Jackson and George B. McClellan both graduated in the same class at West Point. This was the class of 1846. McClellan ranked second in the class and Jackson ranked 17th. The class totaled 59 graduates. Both men would become US Civil War legends.
Just prior to the US Civil War, Thomas Jonathan Jackson was a mathematics professor at the Virginia Military Institute. He entered the Confederacy as a colonel. He later was to become a Civil War legend.
From History.com:Jackson served only briefly as a colonel before receiving a promotion to brigadier general under General Joseph E. Johnston (1807-91). Jackson earned his nickname at the First Battle of Bull Run (also known as Manassas) in July 1861 when he rushed his troops forward to close a gap in the line against a determined Union attack. Upon observing Jackson, one of his fellow generals reportedly said, "Look, men, there is Jackson standing like a stone wall!"-a comment that spawned Jackson's nickname. Jackson was commissioned a major general in October 1861.He served under General Robert E. Lee (1807-70) for much of the Civil War. Jackson was a decisive factor in many significant battles until his mortal wounding by friendly fire at the age of 39 during the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863.
