Prior to his demise (as you accurately pointed out, by his own men), he was considered the best civil war general. The south was noted for having far superior generals across the board.
Edit: Jackson was returning to camp when his party was mistaken for Union troops. Several others were killed also.

You maybe right, but the north could out-supply the south by a long shot.

General Tire was founded in 1915 in Akron, Ohio. GenCorp sold General Tire to German tire maker Continental AG in 1987.

Another American manufacturer gone by the boards. Sad.

Yes, generally.

Specifically, though, not so much, but that's a discussion for another thread.

In general, Maximum Overdrive is a watchable movie thanks to AC/DC adding the soundtrack.
