Q's picture for his meme template depicts Gen. Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson as they take part at Williamsport Crossing in the state of Maryland in 1863.

 

Lee's Army was marching towards the eventual Battle of Chancellorsville, where Jackson was ultimately wounded by his own men during a night time patrol. Jackson would die from his wounds days later. The South lost a great commander, but Jackson's tactics at Chancellorsville before his death were nothing short of brilliant. Many historians refer to it as Lee's "greatest victory" – and well meaning, particularly due to Jackson.

 

Jackson took a risk by dividing his men from the Confederate army in whole, to out march and out flank an Union Army's right flank. When Jackson made contact, Union soldiers were caught completely off-guard and began to flee in a panic. Jackson and his men overran them, resulting in a massive route of Hooker's forces.

 

Basically the way I see it, Q has successfully outflanked the DS who is now panicked and on the run.

 

What ultimately got Jackson killed was his desire to press on and pursue the enemy into the night. Doing so, his own ranks mistook him for the enemy. Nevertheless, Jackson was of course heralded and remains to this day a very symbolic embodiment of Southern history and heritage.

 

Jackson was not a man fighting for hatred. In fact, he was very active in the teaching of the African American community of Lexington, VA even teaching Bible Studies to them on Sundays.
