   I would also add, “protecting their wealth.” Wealth is a gift from God, expected to be used to glorify His name, for His purposes, and under His law.

   Stonewall Jackson and J.E.B. Stuart, 1861:

   “Colonel Stuart, if I had my way we would show no quarter to the enemy. No more than the redskins showed your troopers. The black flag, sir.

   “If the North triumphs, it is not alone the destruction of our property. It is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity…the loss of free and responsible government. It is the triumph of commerce. The banks, factories.

   “We should meet the invader on the verge of just defense…and raise the black flag. No quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides. Our political leadership is too timid to face the reality of this coming war. They should look to the Bible. It is full of such wars. Only the black flag will bring the North to its senses and rapidly end the war.”

   Gotta Love Stonewall Jackson:

   ” My religious beliefs teach me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time of my death. I do not concern myself with that, but to be always whenever it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and all men would be equally brave.”

   @George 1,

   I’d point out that Jackson was a Calvinist, as am I.
