Again, innumerable sources can speak of the same event.
"A number" could be as twenty million.
Being that the American population was 30 million at the time, your estimate is high. Nothing new for a neoconfederate.
ROTF! Over 350 documented courts martial for rape, more for similar incidents charged as conduct unbecoming, numerous other accounts in the official records of multiple rapes not prosecuted.
350 is not "thousands" and the 350 isn't even of Sherman's men, it's for all armies in the whole 4 years of war. That means just a few for Sherman's men.
"I cannot hope that Heaven will prosper our cause when we are violating its laws. I shall, therefore, carry on the war in Pennsylvania without offending the sanctions of a high civilization and of Christianity." Gen. Robert E, Lee to Gen. Trimble, 24 Jun 1863.
Lee didn't have a problem with lawbreakers, the secessionists were lawbreakers. So Ike was a lawbreaker? lol Again, Lee would've attacked supplies if he could've. Where does the law say supplies are not to be attacked.
It must be remembered that we make war only upon armed men, and that we cannot take vengeance for the wrongs our people have suffered without lowering ourselves in the eyes of all whose abhorrence has been excited by the atrocities of our enemies, and offending against Him to whom vengeance belongeth, without whose favor and support our efforts must all prove in vain. The commanding general therefore earnestly exhorts the troops to abstain with most scrupulous care from unnecessary or wanton injury to private property, and he enjoins upon all officers to arrest and bring to summary punishment all who shall in any way offend against the orders on this subject. Gen. Robert E. Lee, General Orders No. 73, 27 Jun 1863.
Then why did he join with the lawbreaking tyrannists?
Possible traitors should be detained. Failure to PRAY for Caesar Lincoln is treason??? ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!
He wasn't a traitor for not praying for Lincoln, but it was a sign that he could turn into one. If during war, a person shows that he does not support the cause, he could be a traitor.
The tyrant did die, didn't he?
You people are so attractive and even-minded. /sarcasm
Slavery was LEGAL under the US flag far longer than the Confederate flag.
Thanks to Lincoln. He ended slavery in the South. The Confederates vowed to perpetuate it.
Yankees sailed to Africa to steal/purchase slaves. Yankees perpetuated slavery since our founding!
How is it that slavery ended as soo as we beat down the Confederate tyrannists then?
And some slaves still thought enough of the Confederacy to fight for her, and that just tears y'all up inside ;o)
No, I'm aware there are nuts in every crowd. Anyone who fights to keep is own people enslaved is a disgrace.
Great atrocities [PLURAL} do not refer to the same event.
Being that the American population was 30 million at the time, your estimate is high. Nothing new for a neoconfederate.
Your estimate is too low ;o)
350 is not "thousands" and the 350 isn't even of Sherman's men, it's for all armies in the whole 4 years of war. That means just a few for Sherman's men.
How many times have you "officially" recieved a ticket for a traffic offense? Now how many times have you broke a traffic law without being ticketed?
Again, Lee would've attacked supplies if he could've. Where does the law say supplies are not to be attacked.
If you could comprehend English, you just read what Lee wrote.
Then why did he join with the lawbreaking tyrannists?
His state seceded. His allegiance was to his state. Maybe they didn't want to be forced to pray to Lincoln.
He wasn't a traitor for not praying for Lincoln, but it was a sign that he could turn into one. If during war, a person shows that he does not support the cause, he could be a traitor.
You would fit in wonderfully with the Gestapo. That document we have, the Constitution, has a section in it about "freedom of speech." It was put in by the founders primarily to allow the populace to express their dissatisfaction of the government without fear of reprisal.
You people are so attractive and even-minded. /sarcasm
This from someone who wrote: "Death to Tyrants!" </sarcasm>
Thanks to Lincoln. He ended slavery in the South. The Confederates vowed to perpetuate it.
Not hardly. Lincoln is on record as favoring the Corwin amendment and making slavery PERMANENT.
How is it that slavery ended as soo as we beat down the Confederate tyrannists then?
Let's see, unable to win honorably on the battlefield in 4 years, the Yankees resorted to waging war against innocent women and children, the theft of millions in property, the wanton destruction of churchs and private property, and then attempted to starve the Confederacy into submission. New Jersey enumerated 18 slaves in the 1860 census.
No, I'm aware there are nuts in every crowd. Anyone who fights to keep is own people enslaved is a disgrace.
Slavery was legal in the United States, Lincoln supported a union making it PERMANENT. There was no need to secede to continue slavery. I'm aware there are nuts in every crowd. Anyone who supports an amendment to keep ANY people enslaved is a disgrace.
