“What Civil War? What do you mean Whites fought to free
Black slaves. No they didn’t
—
Yes but Not Stonewall Jackson. He fought for the exact opposite.
The North was not fighting to free slaves, they were fighting to make slaves of the Southern states. The South wasn't fighting to keep slaves, they already had the legal right to keep slaves under USA law. The South was fighting for independence from the Washington Deep State corruptocracy that we are all fighting against now.
No Jackson did not either.
He fought for States rights.The Civil War should have been fought politically.
Nevertheless, I don’t think our leaders are preparing to win the next war.
“Yes but Not Stonewall Jackson. He fought for the exact opposite.”
You need to read some history. Jackson did NOT fight for slavery, he fought because his home state seceded and was deemed an enemy of the U.S., and was thus threatened by the latter. Back in those days loyalty to one’s state was generally superior to loyalty to a Union. Like it or not, as seen from a 21st century mindset, that was the norm back in the 19th century.
Jackson established a school for black children, the offspring of slaves and freemen, which at the time was considered in some instances a criminal act. But Jackson said he did it because it was the right thing to do. He was DEEPLY religious, and personally thought slavery was a social evil, but that since it had existed from time immemorial it was because God allowed it.
Jackson was also a brilliant military tactician, and a fierce warrior who placed duty and honor above any personal ambition (of which he had next to none). It is my opinion that Lee lost at Gettysburg because he fought the battle as he’d have fought it had he still had Jackson. That is where Lee erred, and fatally. Ewell replaced Jackson after Chancellorsville, but Jackson almost certainly would have taken Cemetery Hill and Culp’s Hill on the first day at Gettysburg — where Ewell hesitated and made only a half-assed attempt — which would have made all the difference. In my humble opinion. This is one of the reasons I love history so much: It is full of “what-if’s” that make for fun discussions.
