How did you feel toward General Jackson as you read lines 23-28? Up the street came the rebel tread,

Stonewall Jackson riding ahead.

Under his slouched hat left and right 25

He glanced; the old flag met his sight.

"Halt!"--the dust-brown ranks stood fast.

"Fire!"--out blazed the rifle-blast.

According to the reading of the lines, we can consider General Jackson a brave man and ready for battle.

Explanation:

The flag to which the lines refer was the flag of the confederation, which signaled that the place was being occupied by the confederate army. However, when seeing the flag, General Jackson was not intimidated, on the contrary, he showed himself to be a man of great courage and that he was not willing to return but his battle was approaching and that is why he ordered his men to shoot.
