Lieutenant General Richard S. Ewell.

Belle Boyd- who survived the War, and Rose Greenough ( not sure how this is pronounced)- who died in an attempted amphibious landing, are two of the best known.

He was instrumental in the Confederate victories at First and Second Manassas, the Valley Campaign, Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville, and the Seven Days battles.

The capture of Harper's Ferry with its arsenal was something the Confederates began while still moving north, about five days before the battle. There were 12,000 Yankees in Harper's Ferry and Lee did not want to go past them and leave them behind him, in case they came out and attacked him army while it was going north. It took several days for Jackson's men to get on the three heights overlooking the town and emplace cannon there - one across the Potomac on the Maryland side, and one on either side of the Shenandoah. Once there they had to bombard the Yankees some to convince them to surrender, which they only did after the Rebels began an attack. Meanwhile a copy of Lee's orders had been found by the Yankees, who moved with unusual haste for them, to bring on a battle. Lee was not expecting to fight quite that soon. Jackson left only one division at Harper's Ferry, to finish paroling prisoners and start captured was munitions south. That division marched very rapidly tot he battle and arrived just in the nick of time to save the Confederates from disaster, as the day of the battle was ending.

General Stonewall Jackson was a dedicated Christian. he encouraged prayer, revivals, church ceremonies and fasting among his men during the war. he believed that if they did this they would stay closer to God and he would help them win the War.

Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson[1] (January 21, 1824[2] - May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and one of the best-known Confederate commanders after General Robert E. Lee.[3]

It was a Confederate officer, Brigadier-General Barnard Bee at Bull Run (Manassas), the war's first major battle.

He is known to have shouted "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall!", and then supposedly added "Rally behind the Virginians!"

That is the favorable interpretation of the nickname - praising Jackson for holding his position at a bad moment in the battle. Others have claimed that he was criticizing Jackson for not coming across to help Bee's own brigade.

At any rate, Bee was mortally wounded later the same day, so nobody was able to ask him which version he meant!

Thomas J. Jackson's mother was Julia Beckwith Neale.

Lieutenant General Thomas Jonathon Jackson's nickname was Stonewall.

Battle of Bull Run

Stonewall Jackson was best known for his bravery in battle. His nickname "Stonewall Jackson" actually came from what he was best known for. He got that nickname from being so calm in battle, and standing like a "stonewall".

The First Battle of Bull Run, the Shenandoah Campaign, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville…

Because he stood like a stonewall in the Battle of Bull Run in front of the union bridge and forced them to retreat to the north.

It was at the First Battle of Bull Run, when Brigadier-General Barnard Bee shouted "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall!"

It is possible that this was meant as a criticism - that Jackson was slow in coming across to help Bee's brigade. But Southerners prefer to think that it was meant as a compliment to Jackson's stout defence of his position, and Bee is supposed to have added "Rally behind the Virginians!"

As Bee was mortally wounded later that day, no-one was able to ask him which version was correct.

Thomas Stonewall Jackson had fought on the Confederacy, or the South.

Confederate General Stonewall Jackson remained a constant threat to Union operations in Virginia until his death after the Battle of Chancellorsville in May of 1863. Prior to that, Jackson had been causing grief to Union generals assigned by President Lincoln to capture or destroy Jackson's army. His victory at the Battle of Winchester on May 25, caused Lincoln's plans to reinforce General McClellan's Peninsula campaign to pause. As long as Jackson remained a dominate force in the Shenandoah Valley, helping McClellan would be impossible.

He got his name "Stonewall" because his faith in God made him fearless in battle. At Bull Run, they seen thought they would all die, but he stood there fighting without fear. Some one said he was standing there like a stonewall. He was without fear. I know this because he is my Great Grandfather Xs 4.

Though you are right about Jackson being a God fearing man and that he trusted God fully, What i understand was that when he was in the front line with his troops he was giving them encouragement and was holding hand up talking to them and he was shot through the hand and he didnt lower his hand. He stood there to finish his talk with his men and lower his hand, bleeding. His men were amazed by his grit and toughness and named him stonewall.

He got the sobriquet "Stonewall" at the First Bull Run battle. As General Bernard Bee's troops were falling back, he saw Jackson's brigade in line of battle at the crest of a ridge, facing the enemy. He shouted, "There stands Jackson like a stone wall! Rally on the Virginians!"

The nickname stuck.

To carry out the bold, quick thrusts ordered by Lee, in a spirit of mad bravery that inspired Confederate troops.
