Caption: Confederate general. Jackson, a Virginian, was a strong Unionist, but when his state seceded he followed. He received his nickname at the first battle of Bull Run (or Manassas, 1861) by resisting (standing "like a stone wall") the efforts of Union troops to penetrate the Confederate forces. Assigned to command in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia (1861), he defeated John C. Frémont's troops (1862), which were subsequently reinforced but decisively defeated by Jackson the next month. He was accidentally shot and killed by his own men at Chancellorsville, Virginia (1863).
