Talk:Stonewall Jackson

Article Neutrality
This article seems to overly praise Jackson/relies on anecdotes and unsupported declarations about his qualities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.38.215.80 (talk) 17:15, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

This article contains many uncited assertions, many of which serve no legitimate purpose and bias the article. For example, the claim that Jackson’s grandmother was a tall blonde woman is not cited, and is irrelevant — unless you are an adherent to Aryanism and want to believe that Jackson is descended from inherently superior ancestors. I do not think this article deserves grade B in its current form. Any professional historian of Jackson would discard large portions of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.31.163.83 (talk) 23:01, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Summary
The Summary is long and rambling, and seems overall far too bloated. Most of the middle paragraph should probably be summed up with one or two lines about his serving in important battles in the Civil War. Or just add his death in Chancellorsville to the first paragraph and remove the rest. ComtoDracula (talk) 21:20, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Racist
No mention of Jackson’s overt racism. 2600:1700:92E2:110:A19A:3431:C228:3C76 (talk) 17:57, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Death by own troops
This article ignores the possibility that General Jackson's shooting by his own troops was not accidental. Jackson was a slow witted martinet whose discipline for his own soldiers included arbitrary whippings and even death sentences. He was fiercely disliked by his own soldiers and his post-death canonization contained considerable revisionist history. AaronCBurke (talk) 03:12, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I have added a citation to the statement that it was accidental. StAnselm (talk) 03:27, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
