Stonewall Jackson was a Confederate.
The US Civil War battle of Kernstown was a defeat for Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. Jackson had received a report from his cavalry commander that Union forces had retreated from Kernstown and had left only a small force behind. The report was not true and most of the Union forces remained near the town. Jackson sent a force to take over the town. There the Union soldiers surprised the Confederates and counter attacked. This forced Confederate commander Richard Garnett to retreat. This would be one of the rare losses for Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley. Jackson's lesson was to double check on reports concerning the location of enemy troops.

"Stonewall" Jackson
Stonewall Jackson was a Confederate.
When Jefferson Davis first became alarmed at the presence of Union troops on the peninsula leading to Richmond, he considered sending additional troops to General Stonewall's Jackson army in the Shenandoah Valley. The idea was for Jackson to then threaten Washington DC. The plan was to have Jackson cross the Potomac River, thereby distracting Washington DC and diverting Union troops away from the peninsula to defend the Union capitol.
