James Longstreet
He served as regimental adjutant and fought under generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott. He was promoted to major in the Paymaster Department in Albuquerque, New Mexico Territory. He was nicknamed "Old Pete" by his men. James was made a brigadier general on June 17th. When in war, he did not see the war go on, he was just engaged 3 days early at Blackburn's Ford, which is where he repelled the advanced Federal Brigade. He also was almost always preferring the received enemy assaults, then he would attack back with a well- directed counterattack. James Longstreet lacked artisanship when he was always dealing with civilian officers and his fellow officers. He had 4 children and lost three of them to scarlet fever in January 1862. media type="custom" key="5726125"

Stonewall Jackson
Jackson was a winner and tough warrior in the Civil War. He was the first military hero. In the battle of Bull Run in July 1861 Jackson came in right before the Federal troops took over and gave the Confederate line a push to help keep them going. Then he and his men stood tall and strong and Gen. Bernard Bee yelled “look at Jackson’s brigade! It stands there like a stone wall!” After that the northerners had to retreat because of Jackson and his men. He was known as a hero and well liked by many people. He got his name “stonewall Jackson” from that day.
