denying WAR CRIMES, which are WELL KNOWN to all serious scholars of the period, makes you look DUMBER than i suspect you really are.

War crimes take place in every war, but the rate looks the same for both armies.

do you also deny the Holocaust??

You seem to be denying that Confederates committed war crimes by your omissions of it.

the rate of ANY crimes in the CSA was LOW, for at least 3 reasons:

1. CSA soldiers were on their own ground most of the time,

2.the CSA High Command PUNISHED criminals HARSELY,QUICKLY and PUBLICALLY,

3.AND, unlike in the northern armies, WAR CRIMES were NOT an essential part of the overall war plan.
