I don't care about how much trouble this may get me into, in this day and age; I admire Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.
He was a God fearing, patriot who would do anything for his state, and family. Him and Lee are two of the finest men this Country has ever produced.
@@AmericanMilitaryHistory the finest man owned people. Seems legit. He was a great commander. That doesn’t make him a good person. You can’t be both a good person and own people. Any way you cut it up, no matter how nice he was to his slaves. He still owned them.
@@brobiewankenobi9492 He didn't even really own them, he was just the executor of his father in laws will, he had them all freed in 1862. He wasn't a slaveowner in the typical sense.
@@brobiewankenobi9492 But you know who else "owned people"? Grant, Washington, Jefferson, ect. It was a different time friend.
I would agree with you that slavery was common in that time. However saying that Jackson is one of the best men the country produced is just a lie.
Firstly you stated Grant owned slaves. Grant was gifted a 35 y/o slave, and freed him less than a year later. He grew up in a abolitionist Ohio family, however he was not wealthy and could've made a lot of money from selling the slave instead of freeing him.
Secondly Jefferson, *in my opinion* was not a good man. He did however write a condemnation of slavery in the declaration of independence. Yet removed out of fear of losing southern support. He also owned over 600 slaves in his life. (The most of any US president)
Lastly, I wanted to mention what u said about Lee, he was a brilliant general but you are still overstating his character, in Jackson's case he wanted slaves to be free but believed the bible instructed slavery, Lee however did not.
(However most if not all information we know about this are from his wife written 20-30 years later, so who's to say she didn't say that to cover his character. But in this case we'll believe it)
circling back to Lee, he said that "The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things."
I just don't buy that these two men were some of our best.
Can only imagine how sad Lee was when Stonewall died. May he rest in Heaven.
Massimo Jauregui First off you say he’s not going to heaven Implying that he’s not dead yet, but he died over 156 years ago. Second off you are not the judge, God is and nobody has the right to say if someone is going to heaven or hell or not. He was also not that racist, when he was a boy he took the risk of teaching a black slave to read and throughout his whole life he had a respect for black people. So before you post a comment about a man who lived and died for his country, at least research your facts first you uneducated prick.
@Massimo Jauregui If he was a racist, why did he teach black people to read when it was against the law? He started 5 I think black churches in Lexington VA. 2 which are still there. He was an aggressive commander.
@@shrek2081 he went to whites only heaven..
Max Gamez if there is an afterlife, hes burning in hell. Just like all the other traitors who fought a war to preserve and expand slavery
@@patrickbooth5091 nope. I strongly doubt that one
Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees
Amazing last words.
Can you be a hero by commiting treason against ourrr constitution by being a mass murdered of those who fault for one thing to be free stone wall fault to in slave the God give rights of the people's of ourrr great constitution an i do not think anyone can call anybody that plots to steal kill an destroy that wich is right a Christian he might be religious but that is not Jesus Christ plan Jesus said to do unto other as you want them to do unto you. After all these years an still people are trying to make heros out of these mass murderers. Man we really do live in a cruel world well you no some people are born without a soul an some people can not be happy unless they are doing something bad an cruel to other people an they try to justify every evil act they do but maybe the only way they can condemn murder if it happens to those who they love an then they will feal the pain that every body that lost someone because of the evil acts that stonewall put on this great country well if anyone call stonewall a hero for leading a gang of mass murderers then i no they call Adolf Hitler there hero to if it is wrong to Jesus then it should be wrong to us who have a decent mind a mind that cares about the well fair of others that is what Jesus great commandment is if you do not have love in your heart for your fellow man than you are full of dead men boones an you will not enter into his kingdom in the last day so why is it so hard to love anybody but yourself that is were you need the Holly ghost of Jesus in your heart with the Holly ghost in your heart you can do all things you can overcome all things because jesus an the Holly ghost will help you an you will want to do what is right by jesus an you will try.verry hard to love everyone because that is what Jesus wants you to do an besides that you're goal all to be is to make.it to heaven an when you keep heaven on your mind all the small stuff do not even matter as long as you make it to heaven
@@davidmcdonald9412 The "holly ghost"? Oh, boy.
My 4x great grandfather fought next to stonewall Jackson!!
Did you ever find out who actually shot Stonewall Jackson? We would like to recommend those Confederate soldiers for Medals of Honor, Silver Stars, and Marksmanship badges.
If someone can tell us what unit this group of soldiers fought with? We would also like to recommend their unit for a unit citation.
@@willoutlaw4971 😆😆😆 shut your DUMB ASS UP.... 🤠💥🔫
God bless his soul.
He survived the war
my fish was his pet
There stands Jackson like a Stonewall.
....and fell like a rock!
@@luciferlaughs9859 You’re truly pathetic. Racist pig.
Stonewall jacksons military strategies and tactics are still being studied to this day
The death of Stonewall Jackson was the start of the ending of Confederate power of the war.
that's what I was thinking
I like how the CSA lost New Orleans! But in reality ( as it turns out ) the beginning of the end of the CSA started when the Confederates first fired on Fort Sumter in April 1861.
Stonewall Jackson isn't just one man in a War. Stonewall Jackson is an ethos, a legend that carried on into both world wars. Self admittingly Jackson claimed that the name belonged to the Brigade. Its a mentality and way of life. Regardless of who you're your fighting or what your opponents capabilities are, if your opponent is squaring off against Stonewall Jackson then you know your opponent is in for a tough fight.
I'd argue that Jackson was the principle reason Lee saw so much success early. After Jackson fell, Lee committed MULTIPLE blunders
I tend to think of Shiloh as the two days which set the Confederacy on a downward slide very hard to reverse. Both Grant and Sherman had more than one near miss. Albert Sydney Johnston didn't have their luck. So many Southern men fell, the way opened for the Union to win control of the Mississppi Valley, and leave the westernmost rebel states as spectators for the rest of the war
Jackson was Brilliant.
Jackson clearly learnt a lot from Wellington's technique for dealing with a larger, less cohesive enemy. Interesting that the only European battlefield he visited was Waterloo. The more confident he became, the greater number of Wellington's techniques he integrated in an increasingly masterful sequence. Sad, that like Wellington, he found it difficult to delegate, or just couldn't find the kind of staff that met his high standard, which ultimately meant he had to personally recon the FEBA in an state of extreme fatigue.
Did he really only visit the site of Waterloo? Because
Jackson’s valley campaign is reminiscent of Napoleon’s Italian campaign 1796-7
Apparently the two books he carried were Napoelons maxims and the bible
Let us cross the river and rest under the shade of the trees.
Mr. Gwynne, I read "Rebel Yell". Brilliant book!! thank you!
My 5th great grandfather William Winn, his daughter married Thomas Neale their daughter Julia Jackson was the mother of General Stonewall Jackson. My great great grandmother Mary E WInn (Walton) is his 2nd cousin. I've been doing my ancestry research on them!
He was a Godly man, regardless of which side of the war you are on, he was a soldier, he opposed slavery, but he did what he believed was his duty, many soldiers in history do the same, I know a lot of our current soldiers don't like what they have to do, don't agree with it, but go along with it anyway.
He disagreed with slavery in the smallest sense of the word, he had some misgivings about the institution of slavery but believed that slavery itself was just and ordained by god.
@@BONK_2000 Who cares?
@@infinitecanadian obviously you do clown
Thanks For The Video!!! Really Enjoyed It.
It's very interesting how he was basically 2 different people depending on who he was around.
Who’s only here because stonewall Jackson was in anchorman 2?
Great video!
Point #3 may be a little misleading. Jackson graduated from West Point and received promotion through action served in artillery during the Mexican War. He took the professor position after boredom at an outpost position in Florida.
My hero!
Looks like you got the wrong flag up there boy! ( you should put up the Jolly Roger )
"your hero" fought a war against the United States to preserve slavery
Patrick Booth this “hero” was against slavery dumbass
@@silentoverkill4744 he owned 6 slaves, then joined an Army that was fighting a war solely to preserve and expand slavery. dumbass
Crazed Gaming Like many Southerners, Jackson struggled with his feelings about the institution of slavery, but it obviously was God’s will that it exist

Stonewall almost captured the entire Union army retreating from 2nd Manassas at the battle of Chantilly. He set an ambush, but a terrible afternoon thunderstorm thwarted the attack and allowed the Union army to get reinforcements.
Totally untrue.
Excuse me, Mr. Gwynne. My name is Christopher and I am a senior this year and am a former battalion commander for my high school's JROTC program. I have always been interested in military history but mostly the South's War for Independence. I've a question for you, or anyone for that matter:
In your opinion, was Major General Richard S. Ewell or Ambrose P. Hill superior division commanders?
Yes, I know that both had major flukes trying to fill in Jackson's shoes as corps commander, but which of these two are better divisional commanders. Hill is more famous for his performance as a division commander but I believe Ewell had sparkling performance during the Shenandoah Campaign and the events leading up to Second Manassas before his wounding that left him unable to command his division for some time. But, at his prime, do you think Ewell was any better than Hill as a division commander?
" I see no reason why braggarts and liars wouldn't make good Generals " A. Lincoln. The men you mention were moral degenerates! They fought to preserve and expand Slavery! The very opposite of American Values expressed by our Greatest ever President Abraham Lincoln ...." a new birth of Freedom "!
MegaGamer 12282000 A.P. Hill was an excellent tactical General and superb on the defensive and there was a reason why Lee often sent Hill where the fighting was desperate. Having said that Ewell and Patrick Cleburne were the best strategists in the entire Confederate Army (including Lee) and had Davis listened to these men on Strategy, instead of Lee, the Confederacy would’ve had a far better chance to win the war. Ewell was also, when healthy, better at maneuver, logistics and in operations than Hill. Towards the end of the War Ewell, due to his combat injuries, was no longer physically fit to command. Hill, who suffered from chronic ghoneria, wasn’t in very good shape either but did not suffer from Ewell’s devastating injuries, was certainly a better commander towards the end of the War. Given Ewell’s full military career consideration and that he was a more able strategist than Hill I would consider Ewell the more able General officer over all. Comments you hear degrading Ewell, from Lost Cause apologists, about Ewell’s actions at Gettysburg should be dismissed out of hand as nonsense. Lee and only Lee bears responsibility for that loss.
I was born & raised in the city of Stonewall’s birthplace. Then it was known as Clarksburg, Virginia which is presently Clarksburg, West Virginia. His statue still stands in front of the courthouse, and rightfully so.
I share a birthday with Stonewall Jackson! I love sharing my birthday with him!
That statue should be taken down, be does not represent justice nor fight for it...itseaningless
@@willcolleman8931 That statue will continue to stand as part of history.
@@mtphill71 I 100% respect our history but we can’t act like he wasn’t on the wrong side of history. A very interesting man to learn about and even maybe a protagonist in his own right but I’m ultimately happy he and the confederates lost.
He was a hero
May God rest his soul
Jackson rots in Hell with his fellow "Freedom Fighters " ( they fought freedom ) and they fought to expand and preserve Slavery! God Damn the Bastard!
Lucifer Laughs hey buddy, news flash, slavery is legal in the Bible.
@@dmeads5663 News flash, the Bible is not entirely accurate, dispshit.
Mango 12 of course it is antichrist.
@@dmeads5663 I am Christian but I believe that slavery is wrong. Why can't you believe in a religion but respect human rights? They aren't mutually exclusive, dumbass.
Gettysburg would have been different. Maybe a Confederate victory
I can't remember word for word but I watched it in a video and the general who was standing in place of where Jackson would have been commanding failed to seize on an opportunity that would have all but guaranteed the confederates victory, because Commander Lee gave "loose or vague" orders that were normally easy for Jackson to digest, because he was also a brilliant strategist and could think on his feet / was very smart, the general that stood in place of Jackson took these more vague / loose orders, hesitated and order a retreat rather than a charge which was a turning point in Gettysburg, my memory is VERY shakey but the guys video I watched awhile ago says Jackson had been put in very similar situations previously while he was alive and always made the right calls because he never hesitated. How accurate is it? Not sure. But I know if Jackson had survived, I don't think the outcome would have been the same.
@@jasonespinoza6372 I heard that Lee had already prepared a paper to send to lincoln after the battle of gettysburg (if they had won) with terms for loncoln's surrender.
@Oz true story
@@justinm4497 That was in a movie. No such letter ever existed. Lee didn't move north to win the war. He went north because the Confederacy was losing the war in the west. The primary objective of Lee's campaign was to do something to remove pressure from the Confederate defenders in the Vicksburg area.
Doubtful it would be a CSA victory. While the South would have taken some key positions as we know the Gettysburg battlefield, the Union simply would have fought the battle at their originally intended location yielding most likely a Union victory.
brilliant general from keV the butcher from UK
Thanks for your feedback, Kevin!
No problem
I share a birthday with Stonewall Jackson!
We needed him at Gettysburg! With Genl. Lee we have a new country! Many think so! Without doubt
"May the lord anoint this hallowed field of battle"
Just traced my family tree and found I'm related to him! Wow!
That means that we’re related he’s my x5 great uncle
Proud to call Johnathan Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson my ancestor.
One hell of a real man
I wish protesters were as smart as they think they are. The cadets nickname for Jackson was “Tom Fool”. Jackson had very radical beliefs in that time. He read the Bible to his slaves because he thought they had souls.
Also, they vandalized the statue that honored the 54th Massachusetts Infantrymen. It was an all black volunteer regiment.
People who think that the statues are evil need to read their history books. If you google Presidents that owned slaves in some time in their lives, you’ll see the first two presidents that followed President Lincoln had owned slaves.
Not to mention some of the founding fathers owned slaves too.
You totally dont even mention Jed Hotchkiss who played a large part in Jacksons success?
Stonewall Jackson was a true American hero. R.I.P.
how the hell is someone who fought against the United States an "American hero"? he fought a war against the United States to preserve slavery
I think the same
@@patrickbooth5091 😆😆😅
does anyone know any facts about his childhood
He lost his mother when he was young , raised by his sister . Studied religion . Presbyterian.
Raised as a Presbyterian
He was born on January 21st, 1824. Fun Fact: That is my birthday! January 21st, 2002! We share the same birthday! And I love sharing it with him!
Great man, God rest his soul. The ignorants can never understand what the CSA means to people.
Stonewall Brigade John Brown was much braver than he...plus he got his head hit @ a early age 33...most Great generals retire with honors... this one is just dead dead dead
Stonewall Brigade Don't bring God into this 😂
Cinda S Whatever I can profess my faith if I want.
KYel WINdSLOW you truely don't understand history if you think John Brown is braver than Jackson 😂😂😂
Korean Buddha anytime a man or woman stand for something that most ignorant people support they are beyond brave but righteous & honorable
So do I.
Everyone should have an inspiring hero to serve as a guide and example, mine since childhood has been Stonewall Jackson; when in doubt, I,ve asked what would Stonewall Jackson do, it has never failed me. Hevis the superior of Washington ( even as presented in Weems,s Life of Washington, a book I greatly admire). I have also studied Plutarch,s Lives, no be one there in is the superior of Stonewall Jackson.
Ball's Bluff is that what he's talking about
Brilliant General using compromise of power.
You are the first brigade
MadAbe nearly crapped his britches with Early in DC!
May God rest his soul! Love this man as a devout Christian.
That maybe, but he still fought for slavery.
Stonewall is a distant cousin of mine. I have a copy of his death certificate signed by Lee.
Lucky!
That's badass. One of the most brilliant generals in history
Hanging from the beam,

They where officers in the army of Virginia, this isn’t broke back mountain. Thomas J. Jackson was an officer under Lee’s command. Both graduates of West Point. They never found each other. They were Virginia’s.
Tell me about how he felt about what he was fighting for , was it more about his state or was it more for economic interest and exploitation of blacks in slavery.
It was more about his state. He did not support slavery but believed that God created it so there must've been a reason behind it. He taught blacks at his sunday school and was the only person in the CSA to have something dedicated to them by a black man. I doubt he was vey racist
Stone wall jackson is alright in my book
Es mi general preferido,aunque quiero a todos los generales del sur.
the greatest general of America, you would have a hard time proving otherwise
According to ancestry im related to stonewall jackson. Who knew!
He’s my uncle
Hello cousin!
Hello newphew
"No union soldier can ever kill Stonewall Jackson!"
His own men: *fine I'll do it myself*
God Bless this Honorable Christian Man!!! You will be honored and cherished in every true Southern Heart. Rip Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson 🙏🏻
An "honorable Christian man" ... who was ready to pour young men into a hail of gunfire to defend the abhorrent practice of human subjugation. Hardly an honorable man.
Wouldn't say a good Christian man. At the end of the day, he fought for a side that wanted to subjugate a whole race to field work due to economics and beliefs of white supremacy. Maybe that's your Southern KKKhristianity, but it's not the Christianity of the Bible. He's hopefully burning in hell still to this day
Christian...man ...you said?
He was a great American. We can all learn from his example of energy , innovation, leadership, - devotion to duty & the Constitution
hahahahaha "devotion and duty to the constitution" "a great American"
you know what side he fought for right? he fought against the United States and for slavery. may he burn in hell forever
@@patrickbooth5091 When you get there, maybe you can visit him.
To the constitution of slavery and a traitor to the United States for joining the Confederacy.

His statue was took down today un Richmond va
good. it should never have been there to begin with.
Put it in a museum. Doesn't belong shoved in everyone's faces. S.C Gwynne's book on Stonewall Jackson is a truly astonishing read, but he was obviously on the wrong side of history.
A
I'm related to him lol
Your first "fact" was incorrect. Jackson was way better of a general than Lee.
Fred Nowicki Well they were both honorable and brave generals, but Stonewall Jackson had courage that even amazed Lee. Winston Churchill made a speech about him. People all around the world respect him, except liberals of course.
I don't think so. Jackson was very eccentric, some think even a bit crazy. He needed a understanding superior like Lee to rein him in. He drove himself and his men hard in his legendary Shenandoah Valley campaign, then had to join Lee's army in the Seven Days' battles, and neglected to get enough rest along the way. He was pretty useless in the Seven Days, doing unhelpful things like taking naps while battles were raging. Lee and Jackson formed a partnership, really. They contributed to each other's legends
@@neilpemberton5523 Jackson valley campaign is pure genius and reminiscent of Napoleon’s first Italian campaign
I tend to agree
Now they are taking down his statue, cheered on by rich kids who think shouting 'racist' at statues makes them virtuous
it makes them correct. Jackson fought a war to preserve and expand slavery. Traitors who fought against the United States to keep people enslaved do not deserve to be honored
I would argue that they do deserve statues of them. If owning slaves automatically disqualified you from being cherished by people, then what about Washington or Jefferson? Stonewall was and is still considered a Hero by many Southerners, for his admittedly great military success.
markuspalm12 stonewall Jackson fought a war to preserve and expand slavery. Jefferson and Washington did not. Stonewall fought a war against the United States. Jefferson and Washington did not. No confederate deserves any sort of heroic status in the United States
While people like Stonewall Jackson might not be considered an admirable person by todays standard, you have to look at it from a different perspective imo. He was a man born with southern values, and thought that his perspective of slavery was in accordance with god. This is a pretty stark contrast from today’s standard.. Since he had more in common with people from Virginia (or West Virginia) he decided to join them in the civil war. Whether you like it or not, he plays a significant role in American history, and deserves to be remembered imo
markuspalm12 remembered. Not honored. Benedict Arnold was a big part of American history too, should we honor him like a hero? Emperor Hirohito is a big part of American history and fought a war against the United States. Should we honor him too?
Why would any American want to honor a guy who fought a war against the United States?
bring the war to the otherside (the north) was not an idea that the north liked.... really? riddle me that one batman.
I support the Confederate battle flag from California and I support its godly soldiers who fought and died for their heritage and their land. They wanted to defend their right to worship God according to the Bible, hence the southern states nickname is called "The Bible belt." Salute!
What are you talking about they fought for slavery this had nothing to do with bible. The fact that they were enjoying the killing, burning, hanging and raping blacks it clearly show what lond of God they were worshiping
Used to hate being related to him (because ya know they how loved slavery) but now I feel proud
He actually was confused on slavery. He also taught Sunday School to African Americans. There was a slave that had a deal with Jackson to free him if he bought him. Jackson set him free. That man got sick and Jackson nursed him back to health. I read all of this off of some history sites.
Much as I hate to see the monuments fall to a lawless mob, the fact remains that Lee and Jackson et al fought for a dishonorable and morally condemnable cause.
The north States didn't need slaves but they were jealous of the South. We can see how much the north cares for slaves. They offered nothing to them the South gave them a home and food. They even gave them homes. The north didn't offer even food or the support of sending them back home. Many people like Jackson helped them and offered support in teachi g them. I haven't seen the north even try to support tbem.in any way. I have heard of no support from the north, not even food or housing. Btw- they were slaves in their own country do t forget and who treated them alful. Study that and see how life was for them there. Very few people even think of that because they want to hear the bad and even contorted truth. Those same black and their descendent how a much greater life now
A great general, part of American history
and now leftists remove his monuments ....
Congratulations to the Confederate soldier's who shot and killed Stonewall Jackson. They should be awarded a Medal of Honor, Silver Stars and Marksmanship badges. We thank those soldiers who shot Jackson for their service.
I'm sure you do, seeing how he was superior to all the Union's commanders put together.
I also thank John Wilkes Booth who put a bullet into tyrant Lincoln's head. Lincoln celebrated to soon. So sad. Award Booth with Three Statues in Washington, DC , Two Statues in Springfield Illinois and a National Holiday in his name. Thank you Mr. Booth for your service.
@@GermanChristians Unproven. He never faced Grant, Sherman, Sheridan or even George Thomas.
Actually, on second thoughts both Sherman and Stonewall were at 1st Bull Run. However neither was in command overall, and Sherman was in his first battle. Does anyone know if their commands actually faced off against each other?
Strange that you want to honor Confederate soldiers with various awards and badges. Really strange. But I guess that's not as odd as the one in which you advocated mass murder. Why don't you find another hobby instead of posting all these weird comments on youtube?
How poorly made is this video, the narrator tells it as is thinking about it and not prepared accordingly
smaller army, much smaller morals (slavery), and firing on their brethren first, Fort Sumter. This not a recipe for greatness, but for remorse, guilt and failure such it may have been that God saw, if there is one.
Well Fort Sumter was in Confederate territory so the union soldiers were technically occupying southern land after a peaceful secession.
How can someone fighting to keep the entire race of other humans as slaves be a hero?....
He fought for his home and his people. How can Julius or Augustus be considered heroes when they conquered and enslaved other civilizations?
They did and it was mainly about taxes being spent up north. Slavery was a factor but its not what the war was completely about...
Southerners who was against slavery themselves even fought for the confederate side because they was getting shited out of taxes and there crops of corn tobacco and cotton
Patrick Mthisi because you fool,he was not fighting to preserve slavery but to defend his native state.and that's an undisputed fact.stop smearing brave men you cowardly dog.
only a small percentage of southerners owned slaves. Jackson did not own slaves. He was just fighting for his home land.
also i agree with Hillbilly Blackbeard
Here because this traitors statue is being removed
Deo Vindice
So its a book about a traitor who was good at leading men to become traitors.
Take the statues down, NOW
So he was one of the greatest TRAITORS lol
Important fact: He fought for slavery. Besides trying to understand why he would do that, what else do we need to know? That he liked poetry? Pathetic
Joseph Davidson when war comes hopefully you do what's right...you won't coward.
Joseph Davidson You, sir, are a simplistic fool!
He fought because someone invaded his home. The constitution doesn't forbid secession. Thats why J.Davis was jailed for mutiple years but never given a trial even though he wanted one. VA,TN,AR,NC didnt secede until AFTER Lincoln called on 75,000 men to invade the south with. Im glad the north won, but the south were fighting because they were invaded.
Joseph Davidson
Slavery wasn’t the the only thing the Civil War was about. Only a low percentage of southerners owned slaves, 1.4% if I remember correctly.
To argue that ignorance of an individual is a better alternative to understanding and knowledge of said individual, is ignorant
STOP PRAISING TRAITORS !
you can praise the military genius the man was without having to like him or what he fought for.
