Jimmy Jackson Jr

Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was born on January 21, 1824 in Clarksburg, Virginia. His father and younger sibling had died of typhoid fever when Jackson was very young. This left himself, his mother and a younger sister. His mother remarried and fell into debt with her more current husband. Because of the immense financial struggles distressing the family, Jackson was forced to go live with an uncle. Jackson’s uncle paid little to no attention to him, even when young Jackson showed an interest in learning. As stated in the Stonewall Jackson: The Man, The Soldier, The Legend, a childhood friend said that Jackson was “by no means… brilliant, but was one of those untiring, plain, matter-of-fact-persons who would never give up… until he

Howell Edmunds Jackson was a Senator from Tennessee; born in Paris, Henry County, Tenn., April 8, 1832. He is best known for his role in the Pollock Income Tax Decision of 1895. This Tax Decision was when a bill was passed as part of a general reduction in tariffs, although President Cleveland was no fan, letting it become enacted without his signature. Letting a bill become a law without the President’s signature was an enormous stand against the president and Howell Jackson was a part of this type of rebellion.

People watched in shock; Protesters and none protesters circled around as Gregory Lee Johnson lit the American Flag on fire. Why would a man disrespect a symbol such as the American flag, that represents freedom, liberty and democracy? Was he protected by the constitution's first amendment? The Supreme Court answered all these questions we had by voting in favor of Johnson. Johnson's intentions were only political, and he as the freedom of speech. The Supreme Court was correct on this decision on letting Johnson go, since he was protected by his amendments, and no matter what the action was, if the amendment gives us the right, we should be entitled to our freedoms.

Say it Ain’t So, Joe! Some may know this famous line because it’s a song title, but is mostly known because of Joe Jackson. He is one of the greatest baseball players in the early 1900’s, but was banned from baseball after supposedly throwing the 1919 World Series with seven teammates. After being tried in 1921, Jackson was found innocent from the court, but still faced a ban from baseball that still lasts today. A person being banned from baseball means they cannot be employed by any MLB or cannot be elected into the Hall of Fame. In Jackson’s case, he would be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame if not for the ban.

After an hour Jackson turned Bandit back into his stall and the two men returned to the bunkhouse. Since he didn’t want to go to the house, out of reverence to his Aunt Sara because he didn’t want to do or say anything stupid in her presence in his current state of mind, Jackson ate lunch in the bunkhouse and after making two more trips to the barn to see his new buddy, he ate his dinner on his bunk as well. The horse made him feel better and kept some of his anger at bay while he was in the barn because he could talk to the horse and not get twenty questions why in return. Conversely, as a result of being able to relax with his horse, when he went to bed that night, Jackson slept for several additional hours before the same nightmare reared
