The South loses one of its boldest generals on May 10, 1863, when 39-year-old Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson dies of pneumonia a week after his own troops accidentally fired on him during the Battle of Chancellorsville in Virginia. In the first two years of the war, Jackson terrorized Union commanders.

I remember reading about this accident years ago in an old history book Lt Col Charlie Brown , back when they actually taught history in school ma'am.

At that stage in the War, the Union needed every possible break!
