Some fellows that I participate with in re-enactments were saying pretty much the same thing. The consensus was that if Gen. Jackson had not been killed the entire couse of the war especially the debacle at Gettysburg could very well have been much different. Lee lost his compass when he lost Jackson and that led to him making a few crucial mistakes.

Agree. So much for the vast historical movement theory. One man can make a difference.
