I would say this depends if you look at him from the back or the front. In my opinion from the front it was his right arm, but, if he were alive he would say it his left arm. Very complicated question to answer.
Upon hearing of Jackson's death, Robert E. Lee mourned the loss of both a friend and a trusted commander. The night Lee learned of Jackson's death, he told his cook, "William, I have lost my right arm" (deliberately in contrast to Jackson's left arm) and "I'm bleeding at the heart."

His left arm. Then died several days later from a fever he developed. Much like the fever that Mr Curious George suffers from when he doesn't get 10 points.

It was his left arm of course, because General Lee spoke shortly after his injury saying, "General Jackson has lost his left arm, but I have lost my right (meaning Jackson)."
