His father, William Joseph Jackson was a local businessman and secretly a member of the Klu Klux Klan. Matthews grew up influenced heavily by his father. 
At the age of 15 he watched the 1968 election in great awe as Richard Nixon was elected but also as the American Independent Party gained 9 million votes. This was always an inspirational moment for Matthew due to the fact that the Democrats were beat so staunchly. At age 18 he joined the marines and went off to fight in Vietnam. He was transferred between a few posts before finally ended up serving as a member of the Marine Security Guard for the Saigon, witnessing many atrocities. 
Returning to North Carolina in 1974, he became a deputy for Boone Police Department, he later married to his wife, Nancy. In 1978 his father died, this left a major crater within Matthew, however this didn’t stop him. In the 1990’s he was promoted to Chief of Police, something he was very proud of.
In 2014, after the suggestion of his family Chief Jackson stood for congress for the 5th District. His platform was very traditional and he was even endorsed by the Constitution Party of North Carolina. Due to this, he became controversial, expressing views on a range of issues such as pro life, pro gun and immediate withdrawal from Syria as well as all military forces being withdrawn from other nations. His opponents constantly call him a Dixiecrat, pointing out his views on state rights are the same as those on the far right. However, economically, he falls into line with the majority of the Republican Party, seeing the state as something that should be kept out of business. On universal healthcare, Jackson opposes any attempt by the state to interfere in any form of healthcare, claiming it is a business. Finally Jackson is very proud of his heritage, believing that both the Confederate Flag should be displayed as a reminder of history.
