If his resolve was his fatal flaw, he still would not lived his life any other way. "Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees." - Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson
It should actually be noted that during the Seven Days’ Battles in June 1862 where he paired up with Robert E. Lee, it was some of the worst fighting he ever did. His army was slow to arriving, he kept getting bogged down in the terrain, his crucial artillery was never there and he would arrive late to the first few crucial battles so he didn’t really have much effect on these battles so lee ended up getting most of the credit.
GENERAL STONEWALL JACKSON HAS BEEN MY UPMOST HERO SINCE I WAS A YOUNGIN ‼️ HE WAS A TRULY GREAT GENERAL , EXPRESSLY IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE ‼️ HE WAS A GENTLEMAN IN THE HIGHEST DEGREE & A LOVING HUSBAND AND FATHER ‼️ GOD BLESS OUR BELOVED GENERAL JACKSON , LET HIM HAVE REST WITH HIS LOVED ONES & THE STONEWALL BRIGADE 🙏🏼✝️🙏🏻

I grew up and currently live in the Shenandoah Valley. In Shenandoah County actually. And I also had many relatives at fault under Stonewall Jackson and Turner Ashby of the Laurel Brigade. What is the last name of the family of your ancestors?
Hate to be the English nerd here, but "descendants" is improperly used here. You are a descendant of your ancestors who fought under Stonewall Jackson.
@marknewton6984 They were absolutely the two best on either side. Grant said Forrest was the only General he feared. Lee was asked who was the best Soldier he ever had under his Command. Lee replied: Although I have never met the man it was Forrest. Lee said they didn't use Forrest up to his potential. He should have been given the Command of the First Army of the Tennessee after Bragg let Chickamauga go to waste. Jackson was all about God and his Duty. He refused to go on home because his men couldn't go home. He had a remarkable life through one tragedy after another. I am from Forrest Country.
How can you talk about Jackson without mentioning his pack-a-day lemon sucking habit and the asymmetrical distribution of his blood? 😂 In all seriousness, Jackson was a great American and a near-unparalleled leader, even if he was on the wrong side of history, and his eccentricities are very fun to talk about. Then again, I’m named after him and my father is a VMI grad and huge Jackson fanboy, so I may be a bit biased.
And Jackson was opposed to slavery as many of the fighters in the South were. The war was about taxes and not losing the cash cow in the South. For the price to prosecute the war every slave could have been purchased and freed.
That sentence makes absolutely no sense:: "And like you world keep slaves.” Did you want to say: “And like you would keep slaves.” That still is a pointless sentence because you can’t know who would and wouldn’t keep slaves. Especially today with our history, politics and morals. And on Jacksons case I am going to assume both of what you said is true: A. He kept or was willing to keep slaves. B. He taught people of africa decent. Keeping slaves then was nothing usual and socially acceptable in the south since the economy relied on them. The fact that a southern was willing to keep slaves didn’t really say anything about them. It is how they treated the slaves that said more about them. That Jackson was willing to teach people whose skin colour marked them as slaves and who were considered inferior by the rest of society says far more about him the point A. A was a norm. It says more about society then about any individual. B was an exzeption and says far more about an individual.
szalard No; confederates were ornery, unruly sob's and the crusty non-Virginia troops would not have followed him; he was only useful while reporting to Lee. They were not disciplined enough to be interchangeable or work people from different states.
Would have been a better vlog of a great man if you had not repeated the word "resolve" like a parrot through it. We understood what you meant at the time of the quote.
*THERE'S BEEN A MISTAKE!* For 160 years, Lincolnistas have lied by saying, "The war was about slavery, not *REVENUE TAX MONEY!* Well, somebody should have told Stinkin' Lincoln because he said just the opposite! Slavery was legal under the Constitution: Supremacy Clause, Migration and Importantion Clause, Fugitive Slave Clause, 3/5 Compromise Clause, 4th Amendment, 5th Amendment, 9th Amendment, 10th Amendment and the Corwin Amendment. Slavery was recognized as legal by federal laws of Congress: 1794 Fugitive Slave Act, 1820 Missouri Compromise, 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, 1854 Kansas - Nebraska Act, etc. Slavery was recognized as legal by SCOTUS in their decisions, such as 1857 Dred Scott v Sanford based on the 5th Amendment. Lincoln recognized slavery as legal in his first Inaugural Speech, paragraphs 4, 6 and 9 (quoting the Republican Party Platform plank #4 in paragraph 6 and the US Constitution 's Fugitive Slave Clause here). "No person held to service or labour in one state, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labour may be due." Lincoln disciplined TWO Commanding officers for issuing emancipation edict for their areas. Major Generak John Charles Frèmont was fired and charged with *INSUBORDINATION* on November 2, 1861, and Major General David Hunter was rebuked in Lincoln's Presidential Proclamation NO. 90, where Hunter's emancipation edict was *VOIDED!* Lincoln's Presidential Proclamation NO. 95, his Emancipation Proclamation, freed NO SLAVES as he EXEMPTED every slave that OUTSIDE UNION CONTROL, including slave States. *ON THE OTHER HAND - REVENUE TAX MONEY!* Lincoln's Presidential Proclamations NO. 81, 82, 89, 91, as well as the US House's Crittenden-Johnson Resolution, all mention REVENUE TAX MONEY! AND, Proclamation No. 91 mentions REVENUE TAX MONEY with INTEREST! *PLUS,* after the Union invasion at the first battle of Bull Run, Lincoln and his Congress passed an UNCONSTITUTIONAL Income Tax (Revenue Tax) on August 5,1861. It was *UPDATED* in 1862 and again in 1864.
Yeah, I'd rather not consider the words of a man who killed thousands fighting for the enslavement of an entire other race. He also LOST the war, so resolve that one for me?
You who is without sin may cast the first stone, love types like you who act like they are some superior moral authority , probably a spoiled leftist pajama boy that lacks courage to stand up for anything and runs to the nearest college safe space if anyone disagrees with you
