Thanks for the background…imagine, a son of the vale of humility a professor in the mountain of conceit!

Yes, the Christian warrior didn’t want them brave…he wanted them dead. “Kill them, kill them all!”

Gen. Rufus Barringer, commander of the NC Brigade (cavalry). Supposedly, it was to Barringer that Jackson first unveiled his “Black Flag” policy which was rejected by R.E. Lee. All mention of the policy was also omitted from earlier editions of his wife’s biography of her famous husband but later was added.

Regards,
Teej
