Thomas Jackson, who was born in January 1824. He was the most senior Confederate General after Robert E.Lee and served with distinction in the Valley Campaign of 1862, but was accidentally shot by Confederate pickets at the Battle of Chancellorsville on 2nd May 1863. Although he survived he lost an arm, and died of pneumonia resulting from complications following the amputation some eight days later, at the age of just 39 (although in appearance, he looked much older). His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only it's military prospects but the morale of it's military and people, and contributed to the defeat of the South in the US Civil War.
