Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri ... not ONE SINGLE slave freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. General Sherman was one of the most outspoken pro-slavery persons in North America at the time... when General Stonewall Jackson built one of the first schools for black children.

You are so damned PC-institutionalized on this issue that you probably lean left when you walk.

... when General Stonewall Jackson built one of the first schools for black children.

Pure southron myth. Sunday schools for blacks were not uncommon in the south. Most southern churches felt it their duty to bring Christianity to the slaves. Jackson's Sunday school was far from the first and he didn't build it, it had been established at that church years prior to Jackson's joining. And you have to remember that some of the slaves at that school belonged to Jackson himself.
