You failed the truth test. How can you say union POWs were treated well when Andersonville existed?
there are 2 current books in print on that precise subject, which have copies of the ORIGIONAL RECORDS.
You idiots and your books. Try thinking fore yourselves for a change and maybe you won't be so crazy.
furthermore, the Joint Resolution of the US Congress of 1861 states that CSA POWs were to be TORMENTED,tortured,whipped,starved & exposed to the elements so that the "multitudes might perish as soon as possible."
Prove it.
You were at Andersonville?
Perhaps senility could explain much of what we've seen here today.
cretins of the racist, lunatic fringe always HATE KNOWLEDGE, especially when it conflicts with their IGNORANT notions of what is correct (or Politically Correct for that matter).
i notice that you also failed to comment on the TRUE WORDS of a serving General Officer of the US Army (who, btw, is from VT-not a dixie partisan area!). (didn't like that, did you Mr Clymer???) do you think HE LIED???? PLEASE comment on that! (if you dare)
and YES there was death, privation, starvation (including MANY who died of hunger in the GUARD FORCE!) & MASSIVE loss of life among the unfortunate inmates at Camp Sumpter,but NONE of it was INTENTIONAL.
otoh, the RAPES,ROBBERIES,TORTURE, DENIAL of clothing/shelter/blankets/food/clean water and coldblooded murder of at least 15,000 defenseless POWs WAS INTENTIONAL on the part of the lincoln regime! that too is FACT!
