What happened to Stonewall Jackson?

Question

Please help. No one is telling me what happend to him. D:

Answer 1

General Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson was struck by fire from Confederate lines on May 2nd while at Chancellorsville. Jackson was hit by three bullets, one bullet in his right hand, a second in his left wrist, and the third struck him in his left arm between the shoulder and elbow. The third bullet fractured Jackson’s humerus bone and injured the brachial artery. This wound was very serious and it bled greatly. At two in the morning on May 3rd, Jackson’s left arm was amputated two inches below his shoulder. As the days passed after the amputation, Jackson was healing and recovering. The prognosis looked good.
On May 7th, Jackson awoke early in the morning and complained of a sharp pain in his right side. Doctors examined him and determined he had pneumonia. He passed unto the ages at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 10, 1863
What is not mentioned is that Jackson is probably responsible his own death. He had a habit of taking cold baths to clear his mind and soul. Being in a weaken condition it probably led to pneumonia.

There was speculation at the time that the shooter might have been a soldier(s) that Jackson had offended. I have looked for my copy of the story but I have been enabled to locate it. Supposedly, they either sent the offender(s) to his death or sent him home. If true it would have been something, the South could not have let known. It would have been upsetting that a Southerner would have done something like this. For some examples of early fraggings (attacking one's own men usually superiors.) God Bless You and Our Southern People.

Answer 2

General Thomas J. Jackson was the second most revered and respected military leader to General Robert E. Lee. He earned the nickname "Stonewall" at the first Battle of Bull Run because he was as tough to penetrate as a stone wall.

After an evening reconnaisance mission at the Battle of Chancellorsville, his own men shot and mortally injuring him. He died 8 days later.

Answer 3

Jackson was killed at Chancellorsville on May 10, 1863 by an unknown member or members of the 18th North Carolina Infantry Regiment. The order to fire was given by Maj. John D. Barry, and many of his men fired at the same time. Jackson was struck by three smoothbore musket balls. Barry died two years after the war at the age of 27; his family believed his death was a result of the depression and guilt he suffered as a consequence of having given the order to fire.

Lane never forgave himself for the incident since it was units under Maj. John Barry who gave the actual order; Lane was never promoted during the remaining years of the war.
