I'll provide information on Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson:
Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was a Confederate general during the American Civil War known for his tactical brilliance and steadfastness in battle. Jackson played a crucial role in the Confederate Army, particularly in the early stages of the war. His leadership at the First Battle of Bull Run (1861) earned him the nickname "Stonewall," and he further distinguished himself in battles such as the Valley Campaign and the Second Battle of Bull Run (1862). Jackson's strategic acumen and aggressive tactics contributed significantly to the Confederate Army's successes in the Eastern Theater of the war.
