Tens of thousands of Southern men, women and children---civilians---white and black, slave and free alike---were shot, hanged, raped, imprisoned without trial, their homes, lands and possessions stolen, pillaged and burned, in one of the most horrific and brutal genocides ever inflicted upon a people anywhere;

I know this statement to be true. My great-grandfather, a Confederate soldier, left written documents handed down to me were he writes that his cousin, a civilian doctor in what is now West Virginia, had his brains blown out by Yankee soldiers for tending to wounded Confederate soldiers and his own 80 year-old father has his house and business burned to the ground by the same soldiers.

Most people call it The Civil War or the War Between The States, either of which are more accurate (and less provocative).
