Jackson was a cavalry commander?
Fuck, no, I just made a mistake. I mixed him up with his subordinate, JEB Stuart. The bit about the religiousity still stands.
He was an absolute religious fanatic who also not only rationalized slavery into his world view, but used religion to do so.
I won't besmirch his talents as a military general, but I certainly would not put him on the same level as Longstreet in terms of overall respectability.
