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. He is most famous for his audacious
Valley Campaign of 1862 and as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. His own troops accidentally shot him at the
Battle of Chancellorsville and he died of complications from an amputated arm and pneumonia several days later.
