I don't think there is a general on either side that would come remotely close to
Jackson's abilities in the Shenandoah Valley, though, that would not be the same
anywhere else on the map.
In command, Jackson was extremely secretive about his plans and extremely punctilious about military discipline. This secretive nature did not stand him in good stead with his subordinates, who were often not aware of his overall operational intentions and complained of being left out of key decisions.
In 1861, as the American Civil War broke out, Jackson became a drill master for some of the many new recruits in the Confederate Army.
