DoodleDawg, you're a veteran of these Lost Cause Debates, so it surprising to me that you forgot this important rule:

If Lincoln (or the Union) did something, it was tyranny but if Davis (or the Confederates) did the same thing, they were just doing what they needed to do.

That was a chilling account. Thanks for posting.

Only 13, which is less than a third of what Lincoln hanged at one time. They were also Hanged for Treason. But you didn't mention that. For some reason you characterized them as "P.O.W."s instead of traitors.

But the prisoners taken by Pickett’s men at New Berne had an additional twist to their story, for they were accused of switching sides — serving in the Confederate Army, then deserting and fighting for the Northern cause.
