When you treat people like property you build blind spots that can cost you. Brave man Mr. Jackson.

Did you see that someone not worth mentioning reclipped this with a totally pro-slavery view? Freaks!

Interesting, I have never heard this before

I haven't seen that clip yet dmegivern but that was a pretty low thing for anyone to do.

It's made an impression on me how different history is, depending upon who tells it.

From the article:

Jackson wasn't the only spy. There were hundreds of them. In some cases, the slaves made it to the North, only to return to the South to risk being hanged. One Union general wrote that he counted on black spies in Tennessee because "no white man had the pluck to do it."

I saw this clip elsewhere on CM, and the guy that posted it said, "he was a traitor to those that gave him a home." I didn't know that being a slave was the same as staying in someone's home out of kindness! That was horrible. Much better this way!
