General Randolph McKim On Stonewall Jackson (Penned In 1918)

"Jackson never owned but two slaves - a man and a woman - whom he bought at their earnest solicitation (so they picked him, in other words). And he kept account of the wages he would have paid for white labor, and when he considered himself reimbursed for the purchase money gave them their freedom."............So this is a guy who we're supposed to despise? A fellow who was born into Southern society nearly 200 years ago and who did the morally right thing anyway. Really, that small and filled with venom we've become? Seemingly, huh?
