Thomas J. Jackson was noted for his respect of all black folk, freedmen and slaves. He started a Sunday school to teach the youngsters about the Lord and give them a basic education.

I know that. I'm simply curious about whether he personally owned slaves, since it seems to be a topic of dispute here; trying to expand my knowledge. The answer will not change my opinion of Gen. Jackson, for whom I have named a son :-).
