Jackson was from West Virginia, he opposed slavery, taught his seven or eight slaves to read in contravention of Virginia law (saying nobody had the right to forbid people to be able to read the bible); worked in the fields side by side with them, and hired a free black man to be his groom during the war.

Horrors.
