Jackson hailed from (what became) WV; he had slaves? or knew anyone who did?

Jackson owned slaves for most of his adult life. So what?

[reg45]

Jackson violated state law when he educated his slaves.

Jackson owned slaves for most of his adult life

Born poor. Taught school. Military academy. Military experience. Not much slaveholding there.

He died before he was 40 and his last two years he was in the military.

So, we're talking about less than 10 years, maybe less than 5.

Too busy to check my library on this but Simon Legree he was not.
