Thanks. Glad you liked it. I created this quiz way before General Mattis was as famous as he is now.

"Jackson" should give both Andrew and Stonewall. Ridiculous to not accept a last name.

I had the same comment - spent too much time trying to think of who else it could be.

Thanks for the feedback. I created this quiz years ago. I'll update to accept last names.

The question for Stonewall Jackson is asking for the nickname "Stonewall". I modified the question to help the quiz taker avoid the situation you faced. All other answers were already accepting last names. Again, thanks for the feedback.
