What was Stonewall Jacksons personality traits?

Answer 1

He was eccentric and always chewed lemons.

Unusually for a Confederate, he helped to run a school for black children.

His fatal shooting at Chancellorsville is still a source of myth and legend - shot by his own men, but whether deliberately or not is debated to this day.

Answer 2

Jackson was a man of deep religious faith, a brilliant military tactician, and Lee's most competent subordinate. He could instantly grasp the best way to get at the enemy, and the Valley Campaign which was his and his alone, showed just how combative he was, as his army defeated three Union armies piecemeal.

Answer 3

Mad-brave in the full Confederate spirit.

Perfect team-partner for Robert E. Lee, who was never the same after Stonewall's death.

His nickname 'Stonewall' may not have been the compliment it sounded like. The officer who compared him to a stone wall may have been complaining that he wasn't coming across to help.

The circumstances of his death (at the hands of his own men) are still in dispute. It could possibly have been a deliberate assassination. Jackson was respected, but not universally liked by any means.

Answer 4

Mad bravery, driving force, passionate belief in the cause, and good teamwork with Robert E. Lee..

Answer 5

He was one strange dude
