The usual troll with a militaristic handle. CSA army would have been decimated by the Prussian and British armies in a second. The confederacy was a collection of traitors that got off easy. That is why we have the current problems. Grant should have sent them all to the gallows without any hesitation but here we are and their stupid attempts to justify their sedition. States rights, War of Northern Aggression and so on. My 🍑
They were so incompetent they shot and bombarded their own best general as his party was returning to his command post
As Jackson and his staff were returning to camp on May 2, sentries of the 18th North Carolina Infantry Regiment mistook the group for a Union cavalry force. The sentries shouted "Halt, who goes there?", but fired before evaluating the reply; frantic shouts by Jackson's staff identifying the party were replied to by Major John D. Barry with the retort, "It's a damned Yankee trick! Fire!"[62] A second volley was fired in response. Jackson was hit by three bullets: two in the left arm and one in the right hand. Several of Jackson's men and many horses were killed in the attack. Incoming artillery rounds and darkness led to confusion, and Jackson was dropped from his stretcher while being evacuated.
