What if Jackson was at Gettysburg?
Is it coincidence that the high water mark was reached so soon after his death.
I think not but that's just me Lee's other subordinates were considerably lacking in what Jackson had.
Lieutenant General Thomas J."Stonewall"Jackson
Thomas Jonathan Jackson was known as “Stonewall,” but “the Christian soldier” would have been a more appropriate title. his military experience was in artillery, yet he excelled as a commander of infantry. Soldiers adored him, despite the fact that he was a tight-lipped, stern-disciplined eccentric. Fellow generals were in awe of him because his silence concealed a fiery combativeness smoldering deep inside. Although he was in the field but two years during the Civil War, he more than any other individual became the radiant hope of the Southern cause. more astounding are the number of people – past and present – who assert that had he not died in 1863, his genius would have enabled the Confederate States to achieve their independence. Such was the mystique of Thomas J. Jackson.
General Ewell isn't a name that strikes fear in yellowbellies hearts.
I bet Jackson did.
Read the whole thing as they say.
