英语词汇stonewaller的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

stonewaller. One who obstructs or blocks anything with stubborn, stonewall-like resistance. The term may come from the nickname of Civil War Confederate general Thomas Jonathan Jackson (1824–63), who got the name Stonewall at the first battle of Bull Run when a fellow officer told of seeing Jackson “standing like a stone wall.” Stonewall Jackson was ac- cidentally killed by his own troops at the battle of Chancellors- ville. “I have lost my right arm,” Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate armies, said on hearing of his death.
