Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824 – May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and probably the most revered Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee. His military career includes such famous exploits as the audacious Shenandoah Valley and Peninsula Campaigns, and the Second Battle of Bull Run (all in 1862) and as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets, mistaking him for the enemy, shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863. Jackson survived, albeit with the loss of an arm to amputation. However, he died of complications of pneumonia eight days later.

Lee. His military career includes such famous exploits as the audacious Shenandoah Valley and Peninsula Campaigns, and the Second Battle of Bull Run (all in 1862) and as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets, mistaking him for the enemy, shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863. Jackson survived, albeit with the loss of an arm to amputation. However, he died of complications of pneumonia eight days later. The nickname "Stonewall" comes from an incident at First Bull Run. Jackson's standing firm in the face of battle allegedly prompted another brigade commander to shout "Look! There is Jackson, standing like a stone wall! Let us determine to die here today and we will conquer! Rally around the Virginians!" The exact wording is unknown.
