Not as great as Lee. Lee was the best military tactician in Western history.
Perhaps, but he is also remembered as forcing the frontal assault,(Pickett’s Charge) on the third day of Gettysburg.
Jackson wanted to flank..Lee said no.

Not sure what general you are thinking of, but Jackson had been killed at Chancellorsville two months before Gettysburg.
