The Stonewall riots were a series of violent conflicts between homosexuals and police officers in New York City.
"Stonewall," as the raids are often referred to, is generally considered a turning point for the modern gay rights movement worldwide, as it is one of the first times in history a significant body of homosexual people resisted arrest.
Many of the Stonewall patrons were still emotionally distraught when the raid occurred that night, and refused to react passively.
Stonewall Jackson's reputation for moving his troops earned them the nickname "foot cavalry".
West Virginia's Stonewall Jackson State Park is named in his honor.
Nearby, at Stonewall Jackson's historical childhood home, his Uncle's grist mill is the centerpiece of a historical site at the Jackson's Mill Center for Lifelong Learning and State 4-H Camp.
