As an added note, as to just how confused this killer was, did you note that he tried to identify with Rhodesia? Rhodesia was a nation that prided itself on its race relations. Rhodeia was so far from the thinking of this murderer, that the son of a friend of mine in the Rhodesian Parliament, commanded a unit in their anti-terrorist forces, which consisted of him and 20 or so Bantu enlisted men--he being the lone White. (He is now active in Christain work in England.)
Another note, are you aware that Stonewall Jackson taught a Sunday School class for Negro children in Virginia, before the War?
Whoever wrote the piece, it is an apology for what should never be apologized for--honoring your forebears! There is nothing in the New Testament that repeals the importance of the Fifth Commandment.
Yes and in so doing T J Jackson was violating Virginia statute law which forbade teaching slaves to read and write. (These laws which emerged from the Nat Turner uprising seem to have been largely ignored by quite a few upper class and even just regular southerners. I think Booker T Washington learned the rudiments of reading and writing before 1865.
In any case Jackson in the uniform of a CSA general graces one of the stained glass windows of a black church in Roanoke, I believe,. It was founded by one of the black children who learned to read at Jackson’s Sunday School class.
