Just read something interesting about Jackson
quote:
Little known as he was to the white inhabitants of Lexington, Jackson was known by many of the African Americans in town, both slaves and free blacks. In 1855, he organized Sunday School classes for blacks at the Presbyterian Church. His second wife, Mary Anna Jackson, taught with Jackson, as "he preferred that my labors should be given to the colored children, believing that it was more important and useful to put the strong hand of the Gospel under the ignorant African race, to lift them up". The pastor, Dr. William Spottswood White, described the relationship between Jackson and his Sunday afternoon students: "In their religious instruction he succeeded wonderfully. His discipline was systematic and firm, but very kind. ... His servants reverenced and loved him, as they would have done a brother or father. ... He was emphatically the black man's friend." He addressed his students by name and they referred to him as "Marse Major"quote:
Jackson neither apologized for nor spoke in favor of the practice of slavery. He probably opposed the institution. Yet in his mind the Creator had sanctioned slavery, and man had no moral right to challenge its existence. The good Christian slaveholder was one who treated his servants fairly and humanely at all times

He was an overrated general. The South's best chance was in the last battles of the Seven Days campaign and Jackson was late

There's an AME church with a stained glass window of him.
Not quite - he was basically a fatalist. Whatever happens must be what God wanted.

Mr. Hank, the entire purpose of this thread is to convey that Zelenskyy is playing with the G7 crown while his troops fight in the trenches. Zelenskyy is the leader of his country. Jackson was military leader whose responsibility was with his troops. Zelenskyy has his own generals. If Ukraine remains a country after this war it is in part because of Zelenskyy and those who report to him.
