during the american civil war confederate general stonewall jackson, in a brilliant military manoeuvre, outflanked a vastly superior force of union troops at chancellorsville, virginia. on 2 may 1863, many of the federals were captured without a shot fired, and the rest were driven into a full rout. darkness ended jackson's assault.
as jackson was returning to camp, his own men, not recognising him in the dark, shot and wounded him so badly that his left arm had to be amputated, and on 10 may he died of complications of pneumonia. as he lay dying, confederate army commander robert lee sent a message to him through chaplain lacy, saying, "give general jackson my affectionate regards, and say to him: he has lost his left arm, but i my right."
