A Side of Stonewall Jackson You Never Knew!

The past can't always be explained or understood by what we read in the history books. Sometimes it's filled with little-known facts that cause us to re-evaluate the people and events that make history.

Absolutely, Jackson and Lee had a firm belief in the sovereignty and Providence of God.

[@dirtbagdarrell2008]

Jackson was threatened when he started the black sunday school, but did it anyway.

[@gregorybarr6112]

No doubt that when Jackson lay dying and said "Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees", he anticipated seeing Christ.

[@generalnmp]

It was a reference to his childhood when he was orphaned and lived in Jackson Mill with his uncle and his favorite thing to do was to cross over a river and rest under the shade of the trees. He did this many times, some times with his friend who was a slave, and some with his sister who latter turned a Unionist. But you could be right and probably are :)

[@gregorybarr6112]

GeneralNMP Thanks for the info on the years as a child.

[@generalnmp]

Gregory Barr It was my pleasure to help another admirer of Stonewall. :)

[@togglebogle4366]

+Gregory Barr Everytime i think i know a little more about you southruners and your civil war it seems im always thrown a few steps back, at this rate im really not even sure what the south did wrong, it seems like us northeners are to blame for this whole thing some times

[@songspiritUSA]

+Toggle Bogle You're attitude is refreshing. The real lesson of the war are the agitations - the abolitionists in the North and the fears of slave insurrections in the South. Today, we are being agitated over different issues, and we should be on our guard, hoping our "leaders" will not drive us to the sword once more. As for any guilt over the war, it is best to remember what often gets forgotten - the decades where North and South worked together to heal their war-torn country. We must honor THOSE heroes too.

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen and a modern yankee's worst nightmare, thank you for posting this!

When a person dies, his destiny is set for eternity, at that moment, and there is nothing anyone can do to change it.

[@Tellgryn]

John Jasper was a great preacher of the Lord, and well worth the time to read about him. His De Sun Do Move sermon was one of the best of the 1800's.

[@csaboy27]

haha, ive never heard him called the tim tebow(my favorite NCAA player) of the confederacy, interesting comparrison, but u r very correct though, Jackson and Lee both were men of great character, I am a great admirer of them both, both great men, and their place in history, just made them today such an icon across the planet.

[@songspiritUSA]

Stonewall Jackson was not unique in all these things. The Rev. James Henley Thornwell was one of the primary defenders of the South, and who was one of those who persuaded Daniel Webster of all people that the Southern way of life was godly. I am one of those who knew nothing of my Southern heritage. But since discovering it, I made the choice to follow the truth, wherever it led. That journey has taught me that the LIES about what the South actually was all about are still with us and now being perpetrated against America. Slavery as an institution in the South was the most benevolent of any system of slavery, and the entire world must be indicted if it is a pure evil. But as I go to the writings of Thornwell and others, I am left with the conclusion that the South was right, the South was godly, and the North were hypocrites who waged war for reasons of theft and violation of a free people. All the racial strife - the deaths of a million freed slaves during Reconstruction, and today's racial agitation are the fruits of that unjust war.

[@albertbryan7132]

The Bible commanded slave owners to take care of their servants. From a practical standpoint where would the Americans of African decent be today if they werent removed from the native land? I believe these questions should be asked. I also believe that the main cause of The War Between The States was not slavery. The issues had been developing a good 30 years or more before the war and revolved around Federalism vs decentalized state government. Another major issue was the unfair tariffs the South was having to pay to fund the federal government. Lincoln offered to help keep slavery with an amendment if the South did not secede. They South would have no part of it. What does that indicate?

[@joebutterman3084]

+Albert Bryan You're quite wrong. The cause of the war was slavery. All serious historians, north and south, agree on this. The question of slavery was the one question about states rights that could not be amicably resolved and finally came to war.It's interesting to note how completely wrong Confederate leadership was on all of the issues leading up to, and in the opening stages of the war.Shelby Foote opined that the South never had a chance and that the North was fighting the war with one arm tied behind its back.Slavery was the basic cause of the war, and was definitely the reason no European nation came to the aid of the Confederacy.

[@SylviasDaddy]

I was glad to see this video -- but I already knew that General Jackson was a mighty man of God and taught and supported black Sunday school.

[@rotcbrad]

The more I learn about Jackson the more I love his character. He was an amazing man....the tim tebow of the conferacy....lol

[@statesrights01]

I love Jackson and Lee, and many others. This Vid. is both Insperational and Teaching. Thanks so much for posting!

[@statesrights01]

wow.. somehow this dosn't fit into the popular 'history' leasons that we see in schools today...

[@albertbryan7132]

Joe Butterman, At one point I was taught that the WBTS was over slavery same as you. Now I find a response like yours to be a simplistic response to a very complicated war. Slavery as a cause was Lincoln's move to achieve a moral upper hand and legitimize his invasion of the South. Why did he free slaves in the South and not in the North? That came later. Hell slaves were brought into this country by Northern Slave ships, flying the then American flag, and sold to Southerners. Do you know how much the North raised the tariffs on the South before the war? Did you know most of these tariffs went to fund the Federal Government? Do you know how different the State government was in the South vs the Federal System preferred in the North and most importantly, you may believe what you have been brainwashed into believing but the overwhelming majority of Southerners weren't fighting to keep slaves.

[@Hiramab1]

Thanks for posting this video,very good !I am Virginian but live in NC now.I Love Va.and NC.and the USA

[@117rebel]

God rest the soul of Jackson!

[@jjhtr]

My ancester Albert G Jenkins had brave Black men under arms

[@statesrights01]

What words can be typed? I don't know. My heart is so touched by this, my spirit is moved, and a tear burns my eyes. Thanks for sharing this vid.

[@joel10000a]

@97wrangler1 What God is saying here is that it was ok for the Children of Isarel to take slaves from PAGAN (non-believing in Jehovah) peoples and nations, but NOT from Israel, who worshiped Jehovah (Himself). So it's not ok to make slaves of just anyone. Jesus came to fulfill the law (all these laws for the Israelites set down through Moses by God)

[@brettmoffatt1688]

Slavery existed in Biblical times. God says in the Bible that slaves should obey their masters, as that reflects well on Christ. The master is commanded to treat slaves well, and is responsible for their well being. Though freeing slaves is ideal, many slave holders weren't Jewish or Christian, and slavery was a part of every culture.

[@songspiritUSA]

+Brett Moffatt - Exactly right. Even more, the relation between master and slave on earth was understood to be a reflection of the relationship between man and God. Today we have a similar problem, in the attacks on the relationship between husband and wife being a reflection of the relation between Christ and His Church.

[@b42baritone]

From my understanding of Jackson and Lee, both men were very religious men. In Lee case, I heard that Lee hardly came around to Jackson's camp. Lee would rather hang around at Longstreet's camp. Longstreet camp was very open to card games and such.

[@pylgrym]

Also read if you dare the 125 year old book - still in print: "A Defense of Virginia ands the South"... at Amazon.

[@utubecenseorstruth]

i am suprised this is taught as it shows not all southerners were racist or fighting over slavery

[@joel10000a]

@LordoftheKaty I have already have heard a couple of different people who say they have heard from God, that the US is going to go through a great depression much worse than the fall of 1929, IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS! We will have to wait and see, but just in case, we BETTER get prepared!

[@joel10000a]

@LordoftheKaty You are probably right, and THEY are slaves to satan, who is their master! It all had to come to pass because everything is winding up, just like the Bible said it would!!! There is no mention in the Bible that anyone can attribute to being the USA, and look what's happening to the US right now - our president is bringing us down econimically, such that the US will cease to be a dominate economy - this is going to happen in the SHORT TERM, maybe in the next couple of years.

[@joel10000a]

@sgtcrab1 Nowhere in the Bible will you find a scripture that commands people to have slaves! Just because God allows something, doesn't mean that is his best will! God told Moses to go to Pharaoh and tell him to let His people go. Moses said I can't do it because I can't speak eloquently. God got mad at Moses, and told him to do it anyway, and implied He would heal his speaking disability, but again Moses resisted. So God allowed Aaron to do all the speaking for Moses!

[@123itisfree]

@RonRepublican I'm going to guess that Sherman isn't worried about your guns.

[@joel10000a]

@huguenot67 John 8:36 36 So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. NLT

[@LouisMeadows]

@LordoftheKaty We choose to but down our guns and the lord knows we can pick them up again. We will never forget what Sherman did afterwards.

[@joel10000a]

I feel sure some may very well have done what you say, but not all. Those who did this were deceived by satan, and not doing God's will.

[@joel10000a]

@6905632418 I believe the slavery statements in the Bible are there because God knew there will always be slavery, just like there will always be poor people - we live in a fallen world - with satan in control of the world system of doing things! The Bible SAYS this! The Bible calls satan, the god of this world!

[@joel10000a]

@RonRepublican No but we must forgive Sherman!

[@joel10000a]

@grelee The Bible never specifically condemns some things that are obviously sins! I believe the Bible was telling slaves how to act, because God knew there are always going to be slaves, just like there are always going to be poor people! The devil brings things like slavery and poverty, and God will not stop it, or he would not have had to put anything in the Bible about it, if He were going to stop it. Demons are behind much of the evil in this world - egging people on to commit sins!

[@joel10000a]

@sgtcrab1 No it doesn't - the Bible condoned it but nowhere did it support it!. Find a scripture that supports it and show me.

[@siaripop7]

If one was to place Religion on hold for the moment and just focus on the issue of morality instead; we can clearly see that slavery is morally wrong. Currently, we see the same issues arising in the Muslim world under Islam. Woman do not have the same rights as men......in part, due to religious teachings (although a significant portion is also cultural).

[@Hornbush]

Awesome!

[@VictorLepanto]

@joelweymouthtais: Actually, I believe every slave from the Ottoman Empired is dead now; that's 100%. Also, the Bible approves of slave rebellion in the Book of Exodus. Also, the rebellion of the Israelites against Rehaboam is blessed by God in I Kings 11:26-40. God only chastizes King Jeroboam (over Israel) b/c he practices idolatry in I Kings 12: 25-33. God hates slavery, whatever else might be demonstrable from the Bible, certainly that is.

[@sgtcrab1]

"On biblical grounds slavery was wrong," Where pray tell in the bible does it say this? The pible supports slavery time and again.

[@sgtcrab1]

Condoned? Supported? Please get real! Geez understand English. If you do not condem it and "condone" it get a grip!
