Jackson, Stonewall (Thomas J.; 1824-63)
Confederate general during the Civil War
Jackson won the name Stonewall for his determined stand against the Union forces at the first Battle of Bull Run in 1861. During the Shenandoah Valley campaign of 1862, he displayed his outstanding talent for strategy and military leadership. He led troops in the first and second Battles of Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Seven Days' Battles, and Chancellorsville, all Southern victories. Jackson, like his Union counterpart William Tecumseh Sherman, pioneered the use of destructive war against the enemy's economic and agricultural resources and civilian population. He was accidentally shot by one of his own troops after the Battle of Chancellorsville and died a week later.
