Their prisoners died at a 12% rate, not much worse than in the army. Andersonville's rate was up to 39%.
They had the resources. They had room. They had enough of everything.
And I acknowledged there were murderers on both sides. Your side can't admit that the POWs were treated badly. I've said they were treated badly. But it was colder in the northern prisons so all things being equal that will cause a higher rate.
Oh you're the Judge?
Okay, the British "puttings down" among the Scots borderlands and among the Irish after the Boyne would be another couple of cases.
So you admit there was plenty of precedent? What the British did to the Highlanders was as close to outright murder as it gets, if it wasn't.
But aren't you guys claiming that Lincoln was pro-slavery? I wish you'd get your propaganda straight. lol
I can't believe you're trying to play dumb about this -- that is just disingenuous. Bad faith will get you nowhere
Play dumb about it? I'd like to see where the state of Illinois harassed the southern states about slavery before the war. That's news to me. Maybe they did, but I haven't seen it. It would be great if they did.
No, I believe the founding fathers said what they meant in the Constitution. Don't forget what Washington did in the Whiskey Rebellion.
...and then you complain everyone else does the stuff you do.
I've accused no one here of crimes.
The people you scorn and scoff at would make two of you, lightweight.
Those of the Union would of you.
I dunked you, and you wouldn't take your beating. You're just a punk from Chicago...
I was born closer to Arkansas, always lived closer to Arkansas, live now closer to Arkansas, and have never lived more than 20 miles farther north than I do right now, so I don't know what your hangup with Chicago is. Regardless, Chicago is a great city, one of my favorites, and it's people are great.
...with a big attitude and a flair for baiting people.
Translation: I don't believe the revisionism that slavery had nothing to do with secession. To you guys, that's "baiting".
It wasn't me that hit it the first time.
In the rest of your post you've falsely accused me of a crime again. In other posts, you've falsely accused me of interstate travel to commit this crime. This is slander. Some people in my area know my handle. You may have to make up any financial losses, if any, your false accusations may cause.
Then please inform #3fan to cease his constant personal abuse of fellow posters around here and accompanying verbal defecation on this and other threads like it. As you may ascertain by the testimony of any of the posters I have pinged in this message among dozens of others, his verbally abusive messages on this thread alone began the moment he arrived and presently number in the hundreds. If I am guilty of returning the favor with regards to him it is only out disgust for the hostile and intentionally inflamatory manner in which the said poster behaves on threads such as these towards all who encounter him and out of knowledge that he persists in behaving in this manner with seeming impunity. Thank you for your time.
Now I know why GOPcap refuses to even engage. Lesson learned (unfortunately, the hard way).
Guys - can you seriously believe this nut? The "interstate travel" reference was a taunting quip about a horrible bus trip to Baton Rouge - a literary mockery of his shared resemblence to Ignatius Reilly, the tragic protagonist of John Kennedy Toole's "A Confederacy of Dunces." He apparently took it literally and STILL hasn't figured out it was a taunt! Just the same, he apparently STILL hasn't figured out nolu chan's similar taunt about the suicide attempt out of his mother's basement window! Stupidity of this magnitude is simply beyond comprehension! (PSST: You also may not want to tell Forrest Gump over there that he resembles the Monty Python black knight sketch either - he may start accusing you of lying on the grounds that he has never donned a suit of armor for sword combat with you!)
The following site says something similar. Hood.
Nice music on the site.

You are the wind.
I was not talking about everyone. I was talking about #3Fan.
In #3Fan #1740, -YOU- said to Gianni: "Nolu brought up the word "liar" first IIRC"
As I proved, and anyone can verify by reviewing the first 151 messages on this thread, the word "liar" was first brought up by none other than #3Fan.
#151 #3Fan to Gianni: "So deception by omission is your game when you don't outright lie. (By "you" I mean neoconfederates)"
As you feel that bringing up this word first deserves action and abuse, I recommend that you take action and go sit in a corner and commit self abuse.
Your point, clearly stated, was the racist remark that deporting Blacks, free or slave, was no different than deporting Mexicans.
[#3Fan #1788] I'm not for deporting anyone that works and has been established here.
Having arrived before the Mayflower, it would seem undeniable that Africans were established here by the time Lincoln spoke.
It appears you believe neither the slaves nor the free Blacks worked.
Perhaps you feel that Africans who arrived here in chains, without a Green Card, committed an offense which meant that their descendants, living here centuries later, could be subjected to deportation.
[#3Fan #1788] My point was that Illinois would've had a concern about excessive immigration of slaves....
I'm sure you meant to say free people with black skin.
Illinois did not want an excessive number of people with black skin in their neighborhood. #3Fan does not want an excessive number of people with brown skin in his neighborhood. No te preocupes. Ellos no vayan comer sus niños.
The words were published in "The Crisis," a publication of the NAACP, by one of the founding fathers of the NAACP, who had a Ph.D. from Harvard. The words were spoken by one of the most respected Black authors and thinkers.
#3Fan said those words prove the speaker to be a neoconfederate full of hate.
You may now mouth weasel words like Bill Clinton and the documentation will remain.
Yep, you are quite a mindreader.
Actually, I pictured you jumping out that basement window of your mother's apartment, and then falling and falling and falling and going splat on the concrete sidewalk and being so flat you looked like you were painted on the sidewalk. And then, like the cartoon character you are, you pick yourself up, blow up like a baloon back to regular size, put your coke-bottle glasses back on, and say, "I hate that pesky wabbit!"
