During the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863, Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was accidentally shot by his own troops. After dark, Jackson and his staff were returning from a reconnaissance mission when they were mistaken for Union soldiers by their own men. This friendly fire incident ultimately led to Jackson's death from pneumonia a few days later.
