Did Thomas Jackson have quarrels with either of these generals? And if so, why? IIRC, Jackson wasn't one to easily get along with.
Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was a difficult man to work for and with. Enlisted soldiers never took offense like many of the officers who considered personal honor to rule above all other emotions. Jackson was a stone cold killer who could have given a fig for "hotheads" who sought redress through duels. Dyspeptic vs Fractious.

Jackson and Forrest were like minded men who knew War meant Killing and Killing meant winning. Popinjays and Coxcombs like Custer and Kilpatrick were ****ed fools searching for fame and glory while the Jacksons and Forrests were focusing on winning. War was a deadly serious matter and not a game. It would have been very interesting if Forrest could have been Jackson's cavalry leader in a campaign in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Of course this concept presupposes the 2 would have been able to get along.
