I didn't see the end of G&G, but did Jackson ever say anything like, "I don't so much care about the outcome of the war, as I have done my duty," or "I've done God's will," or something like that? Did he say such in real life?

He said something to the effect that, if the war was to result in the south's conquest, he did not desire to live to see it. This was said toward the end of the film. There were also several death bed utterances where he spoke of what needed to be done next - "take the war to their soil," or something to that effect.

You'd argue with a sign post.

And you behave as if you were one.

So implicitly, he is saying, "let's do Pickett's Charge." The rebellion ultimately collapsed, didn't it?

That's pretty depressing.

Jim Lovell DID get home. Luke Skywalker DID become a Jedi Knight, Patton DID lead a lot of men in a desperate battle, General Buford DID hold the high ground. Joan of Arc DID maintain her faith in the face of all adversity.

No wonder G&G tanked. And you're not doing much credit to the memory of Thomas Jackson, now called home to God's bosom.

I've shown you all the signs I can.
