[[File:stonewall.jpg|thumbnail|250px|left|Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson]]
From the time Jackson was called into service for the Confederate States of America until his death in the spring of 1863, Jackson participated in every significant battle in the Eastern Theater, suffering only one defeat at the Battle of Kernstown. Lee depended on him enormously and dispatched Jackson’s troops on the most difficult and dangerous missions. Jackson never disappointed as he believed nothing to be impossible and instilled this same philosophy in his soldiers. It was Jackson’s detailed planning and determination that ultimately resulted in his death.
