    		Lots of people confuse "Stonewall" Jackson with Andrew Jackson, but I'm not sure why.

    Andrew Jackson was the 7th US president (1829–1837), the last president to have been a veteran of the American Revolution, and served in the War of 1812. He died in 1845 at the age of 78. His nickname was "Old Hickory."

    Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson died in 1863 after the Battle of Chancellorsville, having been accidentally shot by his own men. He was only 39.

    When was the Battle of Bull Run in the American Civil War?

    The artillery bombardment that preceeded Picket's charge at the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War was far less effective in disrupting the Union battle line than expected, and I understand that there were about a half a dozen reasons why this was so. What were those reasons?
