What kind of person was Stonewall Jackson?

I have a question. Recently I saw the movie Gods and Generals, and I
noticed
the almost saint like immage they painted of Stonewall Jackson. The movie
gave us the impression that the south would have won, had Jackson not been
shot by his own troops. Is this a correct image of the general? Was he
really that brilliant.

Also, I find the emphasis on the sincerity of the southern fighters to be
quite disgusting in view of the fact that they defended a racist state
built
on slavery. Somtimes you get the feeling that the war was without reason
because of the high casuality number. That may be so, but the south
clearly
represented a great evil. Then of course, Jim crow and sharecropping
replaced slavery and nothing changed. Enter the KKK etc.

Anyway, I was hoping that you military people had some opinion about this.
