Stonewall Jackson had a history of defeating Union armies larger than his own. With that said, his basic principle was to never engage an enemy army with a troop advantage. He also was an advocate of using a concentrated force to assault an enemy's weakest position in a battle.

no one. Lee couldn't find anyone to replace him

HOWARD ARMS CO. Tradename on shotguns used by Fred Bifflar & Company of Chicago, Illinois, made by Crescent Fire Arms Company. I would expect that the same hardware store would have used the same tradename on handguns which were probably made by the same company. Unfortunately, both are long out of business but Crescent was purchased by Stevens which was purchased by Savage Arms, so someone at savagearms.com may be able to tell you something. A little additional research found an answer on Ron Gabel's site that says Meriden Arms made the Howard Arms revolvers. The only dates I can find for Fred Bifflar are 1870-1890, but it may have started earlier and must have ended later. Crescent was established in 1892 and Meriden Arms didn't exist until 1905 and I find several references connecting these two companies with Bifflar retail business.

Jackson was rated number two among all Civil War Generals, behind Robert E. Lee.

Patton was without a doubt the most combative general the U.S. had in WW2. The two men were both brilliant, but it's hard to compare men of different eras, because warfare changed so much in the interval between the two conflicts.

Because he was so strong and nobody could get passed him not to mintion nery bad wounds even death. Go south!

Confederate General Richard Garnett was arrested by his commanding officer, Stonewall Jackson after the loss at the First Battle of Kernstown in 1862. Jackson charged Garnett with retreating in that battle without asking permission to do so. Garnett remained in custody awaiting a court-martial. General Robert E. Lee asked Jackson to release Garnett as the Second Battle of Bull Run was soon to begin. Garnett was a loyal and competent brigadier general. He was killed at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.

He fought for the south, Confederate States.

Stonewall was killed at Chancellorsville.

This was a shattering blow to Lee - he had lost his essential team-partner, and neither he nor his army was ever the same again.

Gettysburg followed two months later, and Lee was not on good form. It could have been psychosomatic.

Thomas Jonathan Jackson is the real name of Stonewall Jackson, a Confederate general in the American Civil War.

Jackson didn't want to be unfair so he ate the food his men ate.

Confederate icon to be, Stonewall Jackson had been a thorn in the side of Union forces based on his forays in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Jackson won at Front Royal and Winchester concerned US President Lincoln. So much so that he withheld McDowell's forces from McClellan's Peninsula campaign. This freed the Union division of James Shields to join General Fremont in the Shenandoah Valley with the purpose of destroying Jackson's army. Lincoln made the error, as often happened of breaking the chain of command and directly giving offensive orders to Union field generals. Jackson knew that Union forces were closing in on him and after several skirmishes, reached Port Republic. Jackson was now a force positioned between Fremont to the north and Shield to the east. This enabled him to take full advantage of the place where the North and South rivers converged to form South Fork of the Shenandoah River. With the use of his artillery and infantry, Jackson prevented the forces of Shields and Fremont to unite. He then could deal with both Union armies separately. The bottomline was that in the course the Battle of Port Republic, he was able to defeat Union forces which had a numerical troop advantage.

This was a demoralizing defeat for the enemy. With his enemies on the run, Jackson would eventually be able to reinforce Robert E. Lee's defenses of Richmond. Few historians believe that Lincoln had any cause for worry that Jackson would endanger Washington DC. His interference in breaking the chain of command would alienate McClellan and more importantly, the key officers of the Army of the Potomac that were fiercely loyal to McClellan.
