Thomas Jonathan Jackson (or "Stonewall" Jackson, as some people called him) was a general the Confederacy. "Stonewall" Jackson earned his name in the first battle of Manassas. His men said, "Look! There's Jackson standing like a stonewall!"

Thomas Jackson was a Confederate General in the Civil War. He paired up with Robert E Lee, the other Confederate General. Jackson and Lee saved the army in Gaines Mill, and also blocked an extreme attack in the Second Manassas.

Later on in the war, one of General Jackson's men shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville, which caused him to his arm amputated. Eight days later, he died of pneumonia.
