Confederate General “Stonewall” Jackson No.2
Pious and eccentric, Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson was second only to Robert E. Lee in military acumen and aptitude. At the First Battle of Bull Run his reinforcements countered a fierce Union assault prompting Barnard Elliott Bee Jr. to compare him to a “stone wall,” which may have been a pejorative, but the nickname stuck. He played a prominent role in nearly all engagements in the Eastern theater (the Valley Campaign, his magnum opus) until his death. While on a night-time reconnoiter of the front lines at Chancellorsville, Jackson was accidentally shot by Confederate pickets. He succumbed to his wounds and pneumonia eight days later. Many historians regard him as one of the most gifted tactical commanders in U.S. history.

Confederate General James Longstreet
One of General Robert E. Lee’s most trusted corps commanders, James Longstreet earned a reputation as the “Old War Horse” for his steadfastness under pressure and his mastery of defensive warfare. A graduate of West Point and a veteran of the Mexican-American War, Longstreet brought a methodical, deliberate style to the Confederate high command. He played critical roles in key victories at Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, and Chickamauga, where his leadership helped deliver one of the Confederacy’s last major triumphs in the West. At Gettysburg, he reluctantly led the controversial assault on the Union center—Pickett’s Charge—despite his tactical reservations. After the war, Longstreet’s decision to support Reconstruction and join the Republican Party made him a pariah among former Confederates, but history remembers him as one of the most capable and forward-thinking generals of the Southern cause.
