in point of fact, the VAST MAJORITY of damnyankee atrocities were committed against POWs,"the very poorest of the poor", "hill trash", Roman Catholics, Jews,Indians & Blacks (both free & slave), because the WAR CRIMINALS KNEW that they would NOT be punished for their WAR CRIMES against HELPLESS PEOPLE that has no political power, were UNarmed & had little or no money.

The largest of all the war "crimes" committed was starting the war in the first place, and that dishonor belongs to the South. You neo-rebs are not unlike the insurrectionists in Iraq. You venerate the Ayatollah (Davis), try to pull down the lawful government, misrepresent yourselves, play to sectional prejudices, use lies and deceit to further your propaganda. The Iraqi insurgents have taken a page right out of the southern playbook, by hoping to unsettle an upcoming, lawful election by the loyal people, and change administrations.
It didn't work in 1864 and it won't work in 2004. Watch what happens over the next 12-18 months, and I am sure when all is said an done, there will still remain a few insurrectionists Iraqi pigs to squeal about the big bad Yankees.
