So EVERY Account of a crime is now a "partisan" account? ROFTLMAO! No testimony could ever be ruled admissiable by your standard!

All testimony is admissable. The jury has to decide if it's believable. This man is obviously a partisan and his story doesn't add up. He says he was hanged and left for dead but somehow managed to survive and take care of his daughter. I didn't know that many people survived a hanging, and even if he did he should have at least severe brain damage from lack of oxygen. These soldiers weren't trying very hard to kill him even if his story is true. And even if his story was true, Sherman was not present, so your this doesn't prove your claims against him anyway.

It was the statement of a justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia, not just in one citatation but 2. Your assertion that 'no one was hurt' is ludicrous. If you are ever in court attempting to obtain justice from the man that beat you, I'm sure his defense will be that you were not hurt!

If I go to court saying a group of men tried to hang me and I didn't have any injuries from it, I think the jury would decide that they weren't really trying to kill me.

Sherman admitted that he was a war criminal in 1863.

Sherman was relating the realities of war and what every commander must do to win. And he did no different than Ike, Patton, Doolittle, and Truman. You win wars by attacking supplies. Sherman said that every commander has had to to what had to be done.

The South had it easy???????? Cities & towns destroyed, millions and millions of dollars worth of propery stolen, military governments - it's taken us decades to recover,...

Destroyed property can be rebuilt. Genocide is forever, and most vanquished peoples experience genocide. If the South didn't want war, they shouldn't have attacked Sumter and stole federal property and they should've followed the Constitution in their secession attempts.

..and ignorant Yankees still attempt to Lord it over us

Like you wanted to lord over blacks? Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Please, go back to your shrine of Lincoln & Sherman, worship your idols - ONLY by waging war on women and children, and by starving the South into submission did the Yankees "win".

Attacking supplies is what's known as war. You guys started it, you reaped the wind and you got the whirlwind.

[#3 Fan] they should've followed the Constitution in their secession attempts.

Forget it. Most of these neo-Confederates are as unreasonable and unreasoning as the Taliban.
