The Faith of Stonewall Jackson

[@shadowguy24]

My social studies class had us do a project on figures in the civil war of our own choice, I picked Stonewall Jackson and his character, his faith, his calmness is something Ill remember for the rest of my life. Rest in Peace

[@horseman528]

They can pull down all the memorials and statues to these brave and honorable men, but they can never take away their influence for the better that they had on many. God bless all our brave men and women who died fighting for what they thought was right. Judging people by 21st century political correctness is foolishness and shows total lack of understanding of the human journey. All one can do is their best in whatever time and circumstance they find themselves in.

[@pauldonnelly910]

They "thought" the brutal rape and murder of people they claimed to own, was right. FIFU.

[@seraphim_eternal]

Jackson will forever be remembered in his faith in God and his sacrifice for the Southern Confederacy.

I wrote my dissertation on Jackson and found all of these eccentricities to be quite entertaining to read about. He is one of my great heroes.

[@maryannparrish2570]

Yes. He's also one of mine, too. + 🌹

[@GoldenbanjoDJ]

Thank you for this video. Jackson was a man completely shaped by his faith. Hardly suprising, therefore, that he was such a great, great man.

Although i am not military geneous as far as i know, but i hope to forfil my duty like he did in one way or another. I am proud of him Rest in peace, the stonewall that never crumbled. You've done your duty

[@PuckRG]

Actually many historians (myself included) do believe that the war may have had a different outcome had Stonewall not died in '63. That's not to say that the North would not have won, but it could very well have dragged on longer than what it did. Had Stonewall been at Gettysburg he probably would have been able to talk Lee into giving the orders to pursue the retreating Union Army on day one of the battle, if Lee had done this, its a slim chance the Union would have gained the high ground.

crazy thing was he was at the bottom of his west point graduation class and yet turned out as one of the greatest generals in history

[@JawHacks]

He started at the bottom but graduated in the top third, so your comment is misleading.

[@colindominy]

A very well put-together selection of scenes & dialogue. If even half of Turner's & Maxwell's wonderful portrayal of Jackson in this superb movie is true to fact in history - via the script & words that the gifted actor Stephen Lang is given to deliver, so well - then Jackson and his elevated spritual philosophy is even more to be in held in awe .. and indeed to be emulated in this modern-day, war-torn, socially-dysfuntional Western World in which we live. TJ Jackson - a true inspiration !!

[@statesrights01]

[@manofreedom]

After seeing this I understand the nickname "Stonewall" Jackson. It is no wonder that his faith was infectious and his courage has lived on to this day and always will but the modern ungodly sectarian humanistic atheistic college professor will slur his name because he was on the wrong side of an epic struggle and his faith was his strenght. Of which few professors of history can understand or comprehend. My rebel flag still flies high because of him and the valor of my grandparents.

[@RedShirtArmy]

[@PuckRG]

Not to mention Jackson's ability to analyze and use surprise maneuvers. As much as I like Lee, Jackson had a much better understanding of terrain use, and his ability to inspire his men to keep fighting and marching was un-paralleled. Also, one must remember that the loss of Stonewall (the man who "swept the Valley clean") did not effect just Lee, it was a huge crush to the morale of Army of Northern Virginia and even to the entire Confederate Army.

[@tanukino1964]

Stonewall Jackson is one of great generals. The civil war was 150 years ago in Japan. The ship with his name played an active part very much.

[@divisioneight]

My my, it looks like "steamboat camp"certainly fragged us all with his words of understanding and patience. What makes KZbin a hazard is bullies like him that have to beat you down in expressing their opinions rather than engage in useful, informative and RESPECTFUL dialogue.

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

On july 1st, I stood up in front of Stonewall Jackson's monument here in Richmond to protest it's removal. I was spat at and jeered at by an ugly animal crowd, but Jackson is a better man than any of those people will ever be.

BTW, Jefferson and Washington were Southerners, and would likely have been on the South's side had they been born 80 yrs later.

I did not MAKE the video. Its all from Gods & Generals. The clips are from the documentary on the DVD.

[@evilclown9911]

I am not the one calling names. I dont know if you can possiblly understand this, but then men in the south were brought up in a way that made them fight better than the northerns who were consripted into service. southern soldiers were more willingly to go to battle and definitly showed it. The north one because they could replace their soldiers at a faster rate, not because they were better.

[@KT37915A]

the quote at the beginning is Romans 8:31. I heard many of sermons on Romans 8. One of my favorite verses in the bible is Romans 8:1. There is therefore no condemnation in Christ Jesus.

[@divisioneight]

@539strt :Agreed! The majority of the soldiers fighting for the South were doing so not to defend the practice of slavery or continue to deny the rights of the black man, but to rid their home States (not necessarily their Confederacy) of the Northern invaders. It was considered to them as a second revolution, and was not about slavery. Only Lincoln introduced slavery into the war when he needed a political victory.

[@VictorLepanto]

Could you imagine the feelings of this Mexican bishop. This importuning member of the invading army asking him to explain the faith to him. It must have been a real trial to his Christian charity. I wish I could have an idea of what was said. Who was this bishop anyway, is anything known of him? I wish they showed more of Chamberlain's faith in the movie, as a prof of natural theology, I would think he'd have something to say about it.

[@moltoallegro19]

Excuse me, but I believe the quote in the beginning is from Romans.

[@johnrobinson1762]

Many believe that martial history brings good fortune in death. Makes sense since the most successful societies have martial histories. Valhalla is a place where KIA went. Lincoln said at Gettysburg that the deaths would not go in vain. Maybe he had a point. The war ended 154 years ago, but still shapes the nation.

[@PubliusAfricanus]

AG is a great movie. They should also watch Amistad to see how horrific it is to be taken from your home and made a slave.

@RevBillyRayCollins He meant it was from the Apostle Paul's letter to the Christians in Rome, commonly referred to as "Romans". "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son...What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8: 28-29,30

[@at987ta]

med2659 1-3: The fact that you are so much in love with evil that you cant choose good does not excuse you from not choosing good. It intensifies your guilt. This assumes that you have a moral inability not a physical ability. If you are strapped into a chair and are told to get up and you make every effort to get up and fail you are being treated unjustly. However if you like being strapped to the chair and I dont want to stand up that becomes a moral inability.

[@stonewallbook]

How do you get permission to use footage from Gods & Generals here? I assume you DID get permission?

[@stonewallbook]

I understand, but I believe one is still required to obtain permission.

[@TheRealRedAce]

Lee didn't have slaves. His family had kept them, but he freed them long before emancipation. He said slavery was "A moral and political evil in any country". Also, he didn't support secession, but felt that he had to go along with his loyalty to his home in Virginia.

However, U.S. President Wilson which served as the chairperson of this meeting asserts unanimity suddenly. In spite of the agreeing large majority, since it said that a blow will be received in the immigration policy (especially immigration of the Asia system) in the U.S., this proposal was turned down dogmatically? .

@BullshipDetector Also in europe we used rifles that could get away 11 shots a minute in the 1840s. Althought this wasnt repeaters it still forced the armies to reorganize. Both Union and CSA commanders could have learnt something from Europe.

[@moltoallegro19]

@RevBillyRayCollins And actually, Rome became Christian under the emperor Constantine in the 4th century.

[@anskee31513]

Initially it was a war based on economics. Later, in order to drum up more troops, the North said it was to free the slaves. Initially Lincoln did not want end slavery just the spread of it westward. But even this explanation is too simplistic. The reasons were too complex.

It is proposed that Nobuaki Makino of Japan's representative adds a desegregation provision to the agreement of the League of Nations in Paris Peace Conference. this -- "race or nationality -- what discrimination is not prepared for legal or as a matter of fact in any way by how is promised -- " -- it says. It is an international conference for the first time in the world? For the country which set and asserted desegregation clearly, Japan was the beginning.

@grandmastercaca Please don't pollute this video with comments like that.

[@artsmith1972]

I'm curious why you would think that Jackson's survival would change the outcome of the Civil War. It was Lee who dictated overall strategy, and like Longstreet at Gettysburg, Jackson would have had to follow Lee's orders. His (Lee's) blunders there, and in later strategy helped hasten the end. Besides, the war was won due to the North's superior industrialization, and greater resources (men, money, &weapons). I'm sorry, but Jackson's survival does not change the ultimate outcome of the war.
