Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson

Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, known for his tactical skill and fierce leadership. His nickname "Stonewall" came from his firm stance at the First Battle of Bull Run, where his troops held their position like a stone wall. Jackson was a key figure in several important Confederate victories, including the Valley Campaign and the Battle of Chancellorsville. His aggressive tactics and calm demeanor made him a legendary figure in military history. He was tragically accidently shot by his own men in 1863 and died shortly after, becoming a symbol of Confederate military prowess.
