Starting in early November, the rising star in the Confederacy, Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was ordered to the Shenandoah Valley in order to protect in from Union occupation, steal attention of Union forces away from McClellan's Peninsula Campaign, and disrupt federal plans in the area. Starting with a token force of 4000 men, Jackson's reputation and his forces will grow increasingly bigger after his daring attacks and expertise maneuvering that kept both his Union opponents and Abraham Lincoln himself focused on him. After his initial loss at First Kernstown, Jackson went on to score 5 major victories that bolstered the flagging morale of the Confederacy after a dark winter of 1862. Jackson will solidify himself in the laurels of Military history of his expert commanding of his outnumbered troops versus a numerically superior foe.
