jonathan begg says wrong answer: Robert E. Lee
jayaugust1 says correct answer: Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson before he led his Confederate troops through a series of victories known to history as the Shenandoah Valley Campaign said, "If this Valley is lost, Virginia is lost."
Undoubtedly Robert E. Lee is the first general that comes to mind. Stonewall Jackson deserves much credit as well.

∙ 14y agoThomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson(January 21, 1824[1] -- May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and probably the most well-known Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee.[2] His military career includes the Valley Campaign of 1862 and his service as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets accidentally shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863, which the general survived, albeit with the loss of an arm to amputation. However, he died of complications of pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but also the morale of its army and of the general public.
Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in United States history. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army right wing at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide even today as examples of innovative and bold leadership. He excelled as well in other battles: the First Battle of Bull Run (where he received his famous nickname "Stonewall"), the Second Battle of Bull Run, Antietam and Fredericksburg. Jackson was not universally successful as a commander, however, as displayed by his weak and confused efforts during the Seven Days Battles around Richmond in 1862.

∙ 7y agoBoth generals Lee and Jackson were famed for their victories in the US Civil War. The edge goes to Robert E. Lee as Stonewall Jackson was killed during Chancellorsville. If Jackson had lived anything might have been possible regarding Confederate victories.
