This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
I have a source (Robert Tanner's Stonewall in the Valley, Stackpole Books) which claims that Jackson actually hated Taliaferro and viewed him as, and I quote, "incompetent". This directly contradicts the following line, taken from this article:
"... however, Jackson respected Taliaferro's leadership and military ability ..."
What would be the best course of action in this scenario? It was well known that Jackson had very strict standards for his subordinate commanders and would often make the lives of those whose command ability he did not endorse a living Hell. Despite being apparently viewed as a competent general by Jackson (according to this article), he was transferred out of the Army of Northern Virginia before 1863 to command a backwater post in Georgia.

https://core.ac.uk/reader/235407380 This dissertation is a bio of Taliaferro and has no mention of the story and it seems Taliaferro served in NC at the end of the war in the Carolinas campaign and maybe that paragraph should be deleted? Qstor2 (talk) 00:44, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
