No David I do not think I missed your point, it seems you are missing mine, in my opinion the facts still stand alone.

Jackson’s individuality was more striking and more complete than that of all others who played leading parts in the great tragedy of Secession. The most reckless and irreligious of the Confederate soldiers were silent in his presence, and stood awestruck and abashed before this great God-fearing man; and even in the far-off Northern States the hatred of the formidable “rebel” was tempered by an irrepressible admiration of his piety, his sincerity. I believe in addition it also included his humble yet brillant ability to think and act alone and his resolution.
