Jackson was good as a Corps commander, Longstreet was better.

They began to lose when Jackson died.

Longstreet was a master of defense. Jackson was a master of offense. Wars are won on the offense.

I believe Gettysburg would never have happened when, how, and where it did had Jackson still been alive.
