Number one: he led from the front (which led to his death of course)

His penchant for flanking manuevers.

Taking the initiative without waiting for orders from headquarters., which is why many thought he would've taken Culp's Hill on the 1st day of the gettysburg battle if he were alive.

His troops were totally devoted to his leadership...

He got the name "Stonewall" in the 1st battle of Manassas, Bull Run, for his stand against the Union troops with under-manned infantry.. Secondly, he became known for out-monuervered Union troops with calvery at the 2nd battle of Manassas,
thirdly, he was not afraid to move troops at night, and finally, he split his troops at Chansclerville that led to Lee's victory. Unfortunately, his wounds at that battle, killed him, or he would have been able to assist Lee at Gettysburg. He died before Gettysburg. Lee didn't give the name "Stonewall", his troops did.

Four reasons? In battle he personally lead his troops. He was fearless in battle and he never surrendered or gave up captured lands. He was A STONE WALL. That name was given him by Robert E. Lee who was Stone Wall's Commanding General.

Many people have mentioned Jackson's use of flanking maneuvers at Chancellorsville and elsewhere. Those flanking maneuvers were under LEE's orders. Jackson was especially capable at interpreting and following Lee's orders. Lee was the strategist and tactician extraordinaire; Jackson was the consummate executioner of those orders.
