The US Civil War battle of Kernstown was a defeat for Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. Jackson had received a report from his cavalry commander that Union forces had retreated from Kernstown and had left only a small force behind. The report was not true and most of the Union forces remained near the town. Jackson sent a force to take over the town. There the Union soldiers surprised the Confederates and counter attacked. This forced Confederate commander Richard Garnett to retreat. This would be one of the rare losses for Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley. Jackson's lesson was to double check on reports concerning the location of enemy troops.
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.
The First Battle of Kernstown, fought on March 23, 1862, during the American Civil War, resulted in approximately 800 casualties, with around 400 soldiers killed, wounded, or missing on both sides. The Confederate forces, led by General Stonewall Jackson, faced Union troops under General Nathaniel P. Banks. The battle was significant as it marked Jackson's first engagement in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign.
At the battle of Chancellorsville, Stonewall Jackson was accidentally shot by his own troops.
