John Bell Hood commanded which unit within Confederate forces?

• A. Hood's Texas Brigade
• B. Stonewall Brigade
• C. Iron Brigade
• D. Army of Northern Virginia

Answer: (A)

This question is about knowing which unit a famous Confederate general led. John Bell Hood is best known for commanding Hood's Texas Brigade, a hard-fighting group formed from Texas regiments that served within the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. The brigade earned its notoriety for aggressive action in several major battles, reflecting Hood’s leadership and the unit’s tough reputation.

The other options don’t fit because the Stonewall Brigade was named after Stonewall Jackson, not Hood; the Iron Brigade is a well-known Union unit; and the Army of Northern Virginia was the larger army commanded by Lee, not a single unit Hood commanded. So Hood’s Texas Brigade is the correct association.
