Overall SuccessWavering only slightly in the field of leadership, Thomas Jonathan Jackson displayed superb military strategy. Afflicted with smaller resources and a limited number soldiers, Jackson expertly navigated through bloody battles, conserving his troops by using logic and intellect to outsmart and surprise his opponents. The only area in which he fell a bit short of the mark was motivation. Because his men thought he was strange and different, they had a harder time respecting him as a leader. Jackson soon halted such opposition by exhibiting great intelligence and strength in the field of battle.
