Lee-Jackson Day is a day set aside since January 19, 1904 to
commemorate two of the south’s greatest leaders, Robert E.
Lee and Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson on January 12, 2018
and the whole 4-day weekend. The celebration began to honor
the birthday of Robert E. Lee on January 19, 1889 and Stonewall
Jackson’s remembrance was added to the holiday in 1904.
Robert E. Lee was from Stafford West Moreland County in Virginia.
His father, Henry Hall Lee was Light Horse Henry Lee who
was a cavalry leader during the Revolution War. Robert was born
in 1807 and passed in 1870. Known as the Marble Man, Robert
E. Lee was the leading confederate General during the war of
Northern Aggression. Offered the position of total Commanding
General of all Yankee troops he refused it to stay with his native
state of Virginia. Lee out witted and out fought every Yankee
general put up against him but eventually had to give in to the
Yankee atrocities of the actions of attrition and the overwhelming
numbers. After the war he was named President of Washington
College. Robert E. Lee passed on as one of the greatest soldier
and General of his time had a stroke that took his life in 1870.
Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson was born January 21,
1824 in Clarksburg, Virginia (which later became West Virginia).
He graduated from West Point in 1846 where he first met Robert
E. Lee during the Mexican-American War where Jackson was a
second Lieutenant and later promoted to Major. In 1851 Jackson
resigned his military commission and accepted a teaching
position at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, VA. As professor
of natural and experimental philosophy (Theology) and instructor
of artillery.
At the outbreak of the War of Northern Aggression Jackson
accepted orders as a Colonel of Virginia Militia and then was
promoted to Brigadier General and led troops to the epic battle
of “Stonewall”. This was in 1861 and his charge saved the day
and sent the Yankees to running with their tails between their
legs all the way back to Washington D.C. This brought on another
promotion for Jackson to Major General. He was dispatched to
the Shenandoah Valley and then to Chancellorsville, VA where he
out flanked the Yankee army and again got them fleeing like rats.
That same night of May 2, 1863 Jackson was shot and passed
away on May 10th.
So fly your flags and banners high on January 18-21, 2018 in
honor of these great men.
