what was stonewall jackson most famous for and was he a rebel or a yankee?

Answer 1

You have your answer but you also have the hype, he did not suck lemons or ride with an arm extended. He did consider pepper too spicy. As to who shot him it was even investigated then that a individual with a grudge who bragged he would and did was responsible for shooting him. In all likleyhood he got his name for being obstinate and refusing to go to teh aid of General Bee. He also is the worlds most famous General be you in Russia, Sonya Islands or Scotland!! God Bless You and The Southern People.

Answer 2

Thomas Jonathan "Stonewal" Jackson.
Confederate General who was considered General Robert E. Lee's 'right hand man'

Stonewall Jackson got his nickname early in the Civil War. His nickname comes from the 1st Battle of Bull Run. This was also referred to as " The Battle of 1st Manassas" by the Confederate States of America. Both sides were filled with inexperienced troops and leaders and the Union forces had just launched a very heavy assault. The Confederates forces were crumbling and beginning to rout. The Union forces ran into Jacksons Brigade of 5 Virginia Infantry Regiments that stubbornly refused to yield.

Brigadier General Bee told his men "There stands Jackson like a STONE WALL..... RALLY BEHIND THE VIRGINIANS..!!"

There is some controversy over how much the Brigade actually participated in the battle, but the tide turned and the Confederates won the first battle of the Civil War.

Stonewall Jackson was General Robert E. Lee's favorite General and was among the most distinguished officers of his day. He marched his units with such fervor that they were soon known as "Jackson's Foot Cavalry".

Answer 3

Probably the Battle of Chanclorsville, which was the battle in which he was mortally shot by his own men. His strategy to divide his outnumbered troops, accepted by Lee, led to that victory, and is regarded by many historians as the high-point of the Confederacy campaign. That victory emboldened Lee to attack the North, which led to Gettysburg. Unfortunately, Jackson was gone, and had he been at Lee's side in PA, the Rebels might have won that battle, and the war. An ecentric, religious man, he had many quirks, but his men were absolutely devoted to him. When he died, Lee said he had lost his "right arm".

Answer 4
