I do know that Stonewall Jackson was willing to break the law and teach his slaves to read and write.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Thomas Jonathan Jackson remains a role model for all Americans. He embodied courage, loyalty, Christianity. He led and exemplary life. He was an earlier trailblazer in harmonious race relations. He truly believed that black lives mattered, and he lived that belief by his actions in setting up schools and educating black children. That he was accidentally shot by his own men remains one of the sad moments, perhaps a turning point, in American History.
