The aggressive, taciturn and religious Confederate general Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson was – and in some circles still is – a revered figure in the history of the American South. In his honour was carved the largest bas relief in the world, on an immense granite rock near Atlanta called Stone Mountain. Stonewall Jackson is the figure bringing up the rear behind Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee.

Part of the funding for the carving of the bas relief came from the Ku Klux Klan – and part from the U.S. federal government. Many consider it to be an immense monument to slavery and racism. In his “I have a dream” speech, Martin Luther King said, “let freedom ring from Stone Mountain in Georgia.”

His last words are striking, but not redeeming, and either an amazing coincidence or an instance of the poetry inherent in humanity. Jackson was a victim of friendly fire. Hit three times by a fusillade from his own troops, he lost an arm and then succumbed to pneumonia. He died delirious.

Jackson’s last words, as recorded by the attending physician, were delivered after “a smile of ineffable sweetness spread itself over his pale face.” Strange but true, these last words make what can only be called a natural – as opposed to literary – haiku.
