You've said that before, but it isn't true.
Lee agreed with Jackson more than he disagreed with him.
Lee liked Jackson's idea to cut off the coal shipments and worked with Jackson to make it official policy.
Yes, they had minor disagreements, but as for Jackson wanting to do lots of things and Lee just ignoring him or ordering him not to do... just not true.

The "pike" story comes to mind.....as in Jackson's ordering the commission of thousands of pikes for his infantry. At the end of the war, they were still in the same warehouses in Richmond where they were originally sent after being made.

Something else just came to mind. Jackson wanted to order his troops forward at Fredericksburg to contest the Union's crossing. Lee had to order him not to do so, citing the very obvious fact of the Union artillery on the other side of the river.
Always fun to consider this stuff.....(grin)
