Nah. They probably did save a number of troops, but even with Jackson able to suss out what his sloppy orders meant that wasn't enough to overcome just how bad Lee was. As soon as he encountered a first rate General (i.e. Meade) he was bound to lose. And a Great one (i.e. Grant), he's fucked.

Jackson wouldn’t have won the war. His tactics of bold, grand maneuvers were the kind of thing that lost the later war for the confederates.
