Behind The Battles | What If Stonewall Jackson Survived?
What if the Confederacy’s greatest battlefield commander had survived? After being mortally wounded by friendly fire at Chancellorsville in May 1863, Thomas J. 'Stonewall' Jackson was gone just weeks before Gettysburg. But what if he lived? In this episode of Battles of the American Civil War, we dive into one of the biggest “what ifs” in American history and explore how the Battle of Gettysburg, Robert E. Lee’s invasion of the North, and maybe even the entire Civil War could have unfolded differently with Stonewall Jackson still at Lee’s side. Would Jackson have taken Cemetery Hill on the first day? Would Pickett’s Charge even happen? Or was the Confederacy already doomed no matter who survived? This is the story of the man Lee called his “right arm” and the alternate timeline that still haunts Civil War historians today.
