Best Answer

Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was an artillery officer in the United States Army during the Mexican War earning a brevet (temporary) rank of Major. At the outbreak of the Civil War Jackson joined the Confederate Army at the rank of Colonel and eventually reached the rank of Lieutenant General.

His actions and those of his men in the Stonewall Brigade (Virginia 2nd, 4th, 5th, 27th and 33rd Infantry Regiments) at Harper's Ferry earned General Jackson his nickname.
