If Jackson had survived to be on the scene at Gettysburg on the first day it is widely believed that he, unlike Jubal Early, would have immediately seized the heights and utterly transformed the course of the battle of Gettysburg so that there would have been no second or third days at Gettysburg that transpired the way they did.

Jackson's artillery would've played on the Yankee positions and made them untenable.

Correction: it was general Ewell not general Early who failed to take Culps Hill the evening of the first day of the battle of Gettysburg
