“Stonewall Jackson was outraged..... But it was the churches – the churches – that infuriated him most. Houses of God were pocked with bullet holes and charred by cannon shot. This was a crime against God – a despicable blasphemy – and it very nearly made him weep. Dr. McGuire, who was seldom far from Jackson’s side, shook his head in revulsion. “What can we do about this kind of barbaric behavior?”
Jackson’s voice trembled. “Kill ‘em,” he said. “Kill ‘em all.”
—”No Greater Courage” by Richard Croker
Wow. I always admired Stonewall Jackson, and that quote just deepened my respect for him.
