romad, if your assesment of Jackson is that he was no more than competent, then you have access to much more information about the Civil War than I. My opinion is significantly different, and I think his performance was enough to justify predictions of future results much in the way that Lincoln used McClellan's performance to predict his future results.
My position on Myth 1b is that you are correct, however the North's commitmnet and attitude towards continuing the fight made a significant shift on July 4 1863.
