Antietam+Confederate+Generals

This well respected military leader was nicknamed stonewall for standing like a stonewall while all other Confederates were ready to retreat during the Battle of Bull Run. He was famous for his ability to march his men quickly through dangerous territories. Marching twenty- five miles a day and never being detected by the Union. He was accidently shot in the arm by his troops, then had it amputated. Due to lack of proper medical care he died ten days later, at age thirty. **Robert E. Lee-** In early 1861 president Lincoln invited Lee to be in command of the entire Union Army. Lee declined and decided to help his home state Virginia after being withdrawn from Union forces. He joined the Confederate Army and quickly became theCommander-and-Chief of both military and navy forces of virginia. Lee led the South to many victories, but barely escaped defeat in Antitam.
 * Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson-**
