What you said about history is so true. I live near Lexington. During the woke time and statue removals I was so glad that some of this history was not removed. People must realize that on both sides of the Civil War there were honorable men that believed they were doing the right thing.
"I'm not going to state the obvious" I laughed out loud because I had just noticed that the statue had both arms too. I so admire your love for history. It makes me excited for Wednesday nights. Terrific video, as they all are. So enjoyed hearing a bit about his family. Thank you!
Thanks again for another great video! I've always enjoyed cemeteries and the graves of well known people. It brings home the fact that he or she was a real person and not just a legend. Off topic, but would you consider doing a video on the house and property where the raider General John Hunt Morgan was shot and killed in Greeneville TN? I've always wanted to visit it, but with my wife being disabled I'm unable to make the trip.
Anna Morrison was his second wife, from NC. She resided in Charlotte. She became the first Regent of the NCDAR. When she died she was buried with him in this cemetery.
Stonewall Jackson was a good man who found himself on the wrong side of history in the CW. He genuinely cared about his men and had a soft spot for children. Some say gooď to this but the ANV suffered a major blow when killed. Old Pete was a good General but Lee didn’t have the same trust in him. Great presentation! I really enjoyed that!
He was not a good man. "He would have a man shot at the drop of a hat, and he would drop the hat". Sam Watkins, That's not a good man. He tried to destroy the careers of several good officers for minor transgressions. He tried to destroy Richard Garnett for the crime of saving his men from a death trap Jackson had placed them in. He was the ultimate Old Testament fundamentalist, so I have a delightful image in my head. When he gets to that "Judgement Day" and is asked the question "What part of 'Thou Shall Not Kill' did you fail to understand? How can he answer that?
@@gregdiamond6023 No, he wasn't. He wrote it in his memoirs "Company Aitch". Watkins served in the Shanandoah Valley early in the war, and spent that first bitter Winter in Romney. He was then shipped back to Tennessee. Of course, you know Jackson had those 5 poor scared boys shot at Mt Pisgah Church.
@@billlawrence1899 I see what’s going on. You’re cherry picking to Jackson out to be a bad guy. You’re reading Co. Aytch an and are forming your opinion based on one man’s opinion. That doesn’t fly in Academia. Try reading what Foote Sears and other historical have to say about him to get a more objective view of the man instead of cherry picking one man’s memoirs. Until you do we can’t possibly have a discussion. Jenn would tell the same thing. The consensus among historians is Jackson was a good man who had his faults as do we all. Read historians have to say. See if you draw the same conclusions. His men loved him. Watkins did not so naturally he’s going to put as many damning incidences in his book. Any memoir is going to be prejudicial and will any historian. Read at least 3 of them. Then draw your conclusions.
I have been to where he was wounded, where his arm was amputated (and it´s grave) , where he died, and his grave. I just need to visit where he was born.
I have been to Chanclerville, his arm, where he died and his grave. He is my Great Great Great Uncle by marriage to Anna Morrison Jackson. I think it was her sister. As a Presbyterian he would not be happy with my faith as i am RC.
Stonewall is one of the most interesting men from the civil war era. If i could pick someone from the past to have a conversation with, I would want to talk to him. I have a feeling that what we read about him doesn’t do him justice.
He was about 15 yards away in the other grave then moved when the statue was finished to be under the statue. So he wasn’t moved far and stayed in the same graveyard.

Ha! Yes that was something I just had to point out 😂

Interesting…I’ll have to look that up
I visited the Battle Field where Stonewall Jackson lost his arm...
Nice!
Chancellorsville. The spot is marked and passed unknowingly by thousands of motorists a day.
Anna Morrison was his second wife, from NC. She resided in Charlotte. She became the first Regent of the NCDAR. When she died she was buried with him in this cemetery.
Thank you for sharing!!! That is very interesting.
Well done and a pleasure to watch…as always! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching.
Very interesting, thank you. 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Wonderful video. I plan to make this trip in the future. Great job!
Thanks! It’s such a beautiful area and the city is a nice place to visit too. 😊
Went there in 2017. Good times
It was a beautiful cemetery and city.
Thank you for your videos. Daniel from Singapore ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊

@@billlawrence1899 Where are you getting this info. Watkins served in another theatre. He’s getting his info second hand.

We made some videos from all those places too! (Except his birthplace) fun spots to visit.
@@WalkwithHistory I´ve watched them.
@@charlesnye1736 yay! thank you 😊
Very nice video. I agree what someone else said, i think it would have been cool to have a conversation with Jackson
Right? Very cool
Great video!!!
Glad you liked it!
I love all you videos you make, what was you Rank in the Navy Ma’am?
LT when I got out. 😊

Would LOVE to chat with him.
Stonewall Jackson did not eat pepper,thought it would cause an issue with his right leg
Interesting
So if Jackson was moved to Oakgrove, where was he originally buried? And why was he moved?
He was about 15 yards away in the other grave then moved when the statue was finished to be under the statue. So he wasn’t moved far and stayed in the same graveyard.
It would be interesting to be so close to pure evil
I have been a couple of times. Strange feelings. But we cover all history!!
My last name is Jackson and he is a relative
How neat!
@@WalkwithHistory we have always been proud of the fact. Thank you
Stonewalll Jackson Cemetery was renamed during the Woke atrocities.
