This incident was one of the greater tragedies of that war. Jackson was a icon of personal integrity, wisdom, courage,and Christianity. He was irreplaceable.

It’s been said by many that General Jackson would have recognized the upcoming great error of Gettysburg and urged Lee to avoid the battle. I tend to agree.

Oh what could have happened if this man had lived, at least for another year?
His death sent Lee into a conundrum with leadership choices.

The death of Jackson is sometimes cited as the death knell of the CSA...I’ve never been much of a Civil War buff, my primary interest being in Indian Wars up to the War of 1812. But I’ve often wondered, Jackson or no Jackson, what circumstances could ever possibly have led to the Union accepting any end to the war besides total victory.
