Editorial Review

Product Description
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be, wrote Thomas Jefferson, perhaps the nation's first "education president." Spurred by this conviction that the new United States would survive only if it encouraged education at all levels, Jefferson struggled unsuccessfully for four decades to establish a system of publicly supported elementary and secondary schools. Jennings Wagoner opens this study with an overview of Jefferson's own learning experiences, from his tutoring and schooling in Albemarle County through his years at the College of William and Mary. Then he explores Jefferson's efforts to advance publicly supported education, beginning in Virginia with the first bill he introduced promoting "the more general diffusion of knowledge," and continuing with national initiatives, including the founding of the United States Military Academy at West Point. Wagoner concludes with what Jefferson called "the hobby of my old age"--the establishment of the University of Virginia, where he designed the buildings, selected the faculty, planned the curriculum, and served as first rector. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Many historians have touched on Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's relationship with African Americans in light of his Christian faith. Stonewall Jackson: The Black Man's Friend explores an aspect of his life that is both intriguing and enlightening: his conversion to Christianity and how it affected his relationship with Southern blacks. Covering the origin of Jackson's awakening to faith, the book challenges some widely held beliefs, including the assumption that this spiritual journey did not begin until his adulthood. Furthermore, Richard G. Williams Jr. examines a paradox of Jackson's life: his conversion to Christianity was encouraged by Southern slaves. That faith would one day lead Jackson to minister to other slaves through his Sunday school class.

Exploring in depth Jackson's now famous "Colored Sabbath School," Williams reveals—for the first time—the influence his efforts had on subsequent generations of African Americans. Using original documents, interviews, historical resources, and heretofore unpublished letters and photographs, Williams confirms the veneration with which blacks from Virginia esteemed Jackson, even years after his death—and some to this day. An interview with and photographs of two spiritual descendants of Jackson's black Sunday-school class adds a real-life connection to this fascinating dimension of the famed general's life.

The book also examines Jackson's documented youthful pangs of conscience regarding the illiteracy of American slaves—and how Providence ultimately came to use him to have a lasting and positive impact on Southern blacks. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars The worst book on Jackson ever concocted
Of the many works of hagiography devoted to Stonewall Jackson, this unquestionably is the most ludicrous. I am one of the nation's leading Civil War historians and thus feel qualified to comment on the merits of this work. So, let me get this straight. Jackson was the Black man's friend because he ran a "school" of sorts in bible studies for Black slaves. This is the same Jackson who believed that God was on the side of the South and that all Southern victories were attributable to God's will - a South that was fighting to perpetuate slavery. And Jackson as a kind-hearted man because of his faith? Hardly. Just read some of the contemporaneous writings of his subordinate officers and his troops. Jackson's penchant for finding scapegoats - unjustly - for his defeats new no bounds. In Jackson's mind, his victories were God's well, but his defeats, well, those had to be the fault of a subordinate. Not Jackson's fault mind you. My apologies for the tone of this review; it's hardly my practice to invoke invective. But this sad work demands it.

4-0 out of 5 stars Interesting Look at a Christian Gentleman
Stonewall Jackson is a legend as a military man, but this book explores another side of him: his dedication to helping the slaves in his hometown of Lexington, VA. The author makes a strong case that Jackson was inspired by his Christian convictions to provide religious education to Black people in his town. He did this in spite of Virginia laws that forbade educating slaves. He and his wife and a handful of others knowingly broke the law in order to keep a Sunday school going for the Black people of Lexington.

Other books have already discussed this, including
Gallant Mrs Stonewall: A Novel Based on the Lives of General and Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, written 60 years ago. But this book goes into this part of Jackson's life in depth and also follows some of the beneficiaries of his Sunday classes into their lives after the Civil War. They expressed gratitude to Jackson and contributed to honoring his memory in touching ways.

Many of us have wondered how Christian southerners could justify the practice of slavery. Jackson apparently recognized that it was the status quo and thought it might be part of God's plan that was beyond our knowing, but unlike many less brave citizens, he worked to make life (and theoretically the afterlife) better for the slaves.

Richard Williams assumes that readers will agree with him on the virtues of Christian education, and in some places his pious tone sounds a bit high-minded. On the other hand, he quotes 19th-century writers with appropriate notes about the attitudes of the time so that readers aren't put off by their lack of 21st-century sensibilities. All in all, Williams presents a fascinating collection of research on Jackson's selfless dedication to a cause that was ahead of his time, and yet timeless.

5-0 out of 5 stars reader
This book is very informative and very accurate. It is told from the viewpoint of the Black People. I would recommend it to everyone who is interested in the truth about the history of the Civil War and Stonewall's compassion for the Black People.

REJOICE IN THAT DAY WHEN THEY CAST OUT YOUR NAME AS EVIL

REJOICE

This book has had my name on it and I had a hard time finding it.The book is dear to my heart in that I do not think the whole truth has been told about the South and the Civil War.Somehow I may be related to Stonewall Jackson.Most of my ancestors were protestants from Northern Ireland as were Jackson's.

This is the book to read to reveal a gentler glimpse of slavery in the Old South.Stonewall Jackson broke a Virginia law by teaching his slaves to read and teaching many others about Christianity.Mr. Williams presents this untold story of the famed Confederate General as Stonewall's most enduring legacy.Many descendants of Jackson's black Sunday School class completed divinity studies and have pastored untold hundreds of others in the way of the cross.The blacks of Lexington, Virginia loved Stonewall Jackson and that love was passed down for generations to people like Richard Williams.

The book is a true gem, not to be missed for a completed view of slavery in the Old South.Thank you so much, Mr. Williams.

This side of the Civil War story has not been told.Little do you know the real reason why Thomas Jackson left the U.S. military.His commanding officer was using his influence, as we would say today, to obtain sexual favors from a little slave girl.Such were some who liberated the slaves and their descendants are here with us today.The abolitionist movement was christian supposedlytoo, yet what a huge mess they made in my neck of the woods.O.K.Being a christian man of honor, (would that there were more these days), he quietly left the service, though his immediate family knew the real reasons.Most people see white southerners as hypocrites.We live in the bible belt, but we're not really christians in that many of us had slaves at one time.I could go on and on about this subject.Careful who you listen to, careful who you ally yourselves to; 99.99999999999999999999999% of self-professed christians ARE NOT.

IF the truth be told.

5-0 out of 5 stars Proud to be a Virginian
This is an excellent book about a side that most people do not know about Stonewall Jackson. Not only was he a great general, but he was also a great man and christian. I found this book easy to read and really enjoyed it. ... Read more
