War Crimes Against Southern Civilians
http://www.amazon.com ^ | April 30, 2007 | Walter Cisco

Posted on 08/28/2013 8:03:18 PM PDT by NKP_Vet

This is the untold story of the Union's "hard war" against the people of the Confederacy. Styled the "Black Flag" campaign, it was agreed to by Lincoln in a council with his generals in 1864. Cisco reveals the shelling and burning of cities, systematic destruction of entire districts, mass arrests, forced expulsions, wholesale plundering of personal property, and even murder of civilians. Carefully researched largely from primary sources, this examination also gives full attention to the suffering of Black victims of Federal brutality.

Mr. Cisco's flawlessly documented expose of Union Army war crimes rips the carefully constructed facade off Lincoln's "Army of Emancipators." Far from being an army of liberators, Union troops burned, raped, ravaged, and terrorized civilians from east to west. The brutality long overshadowed by federally-sponsored propaganda of Andersonville and Fort Pillow is at last revealed by newspaper accounts, letters, and diaries, many from Washington's own National Archives.

This country isn’t torn up enough. Let’s tear off 150 year old scabs. The more we hurt the better.

Southerners have to listen daily to people in the media who slander their ancestors., and they never get tired of it.

If someone dares to put the lie to a lot of it, you can depend on a bunch even here on FR to come in and lie like crazy. For that reason I usually do not even post or just post once.

I was just going to not post but I did want to reply. Yes we lost but at the end there were twice as many dead Yankees as Rebels.

In as much as I, as a Southerner, appreciate the acknowledgment of Yankee crimes against a people simply seeking freedom from an ever growing Federal Bureaucracy (sounds familiar eh...) I say let sleeping dogs lie. The North is doing enough to itself now, their smart folks are moving South and at the rate we are going the future of American Ideals may well rest on what was once the Confederacy. Irony indeed.

I am a southerner, and I argue pro-South on these threads, however, I also believe there is no civility in war, no “war crimes” possible. War is Hell. If you don’t like war then do not wage war, and you had best fight to win.

I fully believe the north provoked the fight. I fully believe the south was prepared to engage in war as well if need be. But again, war is a no holds barred fight to exterminate the enemy. It was a war.

Did we?

Sometimes as I sit overlooking the gulf dining on some of the finest seafood and local beers watching Alabama football and also her women I have to wonder...

“Yes we lost but at the end there were twice as many dead Yankees as Rebels.”
