What was the role of Stonewall Jackson?

Asked by Wiki User

Born in what is now the state of West Virginia, in the town of Clarksburg, Thomas Jonathan Jackson possessed a strong military background at the outbreak of the Civil War. His training in the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, recognition as a hero in the Mexican War, and his experience as an instructor at the Virginia Military Institutejustified Jackson's rank of brigadier general at the first major battle of the Civil War near Manassas, Virginia. Upon that field, General Bernard E. Bee proclaimed, "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall," and a legend as well as a nickname was born.

Jackson's military feats had elevated him to near mythical proportions, in both North and South, when in the midst of one of his most brilliant maneuvers, he was mistakenly shot by his own men on the night of May 2, 1863 at the The Battle of Chancellorsville. Confederate army commander Robert E. Lee decided that his indispensable and most capable subordinate should recuperate in a safe place well behind friendly lines. He selected this area, Guinea Station, as the best location for Jackson because of its proximity to the railroad to Richmond and its familiarity to the wounded general.

How did general Jackson receive the name stonewall?

It was the war's first pitched battle - Bull Run/Manassas.

A Confederate General called Barnard Bee is known to have shouted "There is Jackson, standing like a stone wall!"

Whether this was meant as a compliment, we don't know, as Bee was mortally wounded later in the day, and no-one got the chance to ask him.

The popular interpretation is favourable, and it is claimed that Bee followed his remark with "Rally behind the Virginians!"

The alternative version is that he was criticizing Jackson for not coming across to help Bee's own brigade, who were in trouble.

Stonewall Jackson was the most able commander of Confederate infantry of the war. He was one of those men who seem to naturally understand war, he was an aggressive general and he was unshakable in battle. In the Shanendoah campaign, his rag-tag army ran circles and defeated around three armies sent to stop him, each bigger than his own. He and his men were superb on the attack and were hard marchers. Jackson drove his men HARD, often 20+ miles a day, eventually his men earned the nickname "foot cavalry". He play the pivotal role in some of the Lee's most pivotal campaigns where it really is hard to see any other general being able to do the samething.

Asked by Wiki User

Stonewall Jackson was one of the most famous Confederate generals and one of the best officers who fought under General Robert E. Lee, during the American Civil War. At the first Battle of Bull Run, or Manassas, Jackson's brigade faced overwhelming odds, but formed a strong line and held its ground. General Barnard E. Bee, trying to rally his Southern troops, saw Jackson's line an shouted, "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall. Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer." After that, Jackson was known as "Stonewall," and his brigade as the Stonewall Brigade.

Jackson's chief characteristics were his religious nature, his careful attention to military detail, his firm discipline, and his capacity to get the maximum efforts from his men. His soldiers loved him, and they trusted his ability.

General Lee and Jackson understood each other perfectly. The two men worked so well together that General Lee could not find a man capable of replacing Jackson after his death.

Stonewall Jackson died eight days after he was shot during the Battle of Chancellorsville, on May 10, 1863.His death was one of the reasons that General Robert E. Lee reorganized his army after the Battles of Chancellorsville.

Not known, except that it was one of his own side, the Confederates - whether accidentally or deliberately.

The number of different versions of the story does suggest that something is being hidden or camouflaged.

When he died, a mysterious note was found pinned to his body, claiming that he had been assassinated. Some people think he wrote the note himself.
