no matter how much the damnyankee loonies on the forum may wish that the union army acted like choirboys in the prostrated southland, NOTHING no matter how indecent/immoral/criminal was BENEATH the dignity of that horde of criminals.
to quote a professor at Radcliffe College, "the union army raged throughout the south like a herd of rabid swine, thoughtlessly raping,robbing,looting & burning the privaste property of the civilian populus without either mercy or honor. the fiends preyed on the poor & defenseless civilians, in a manner LESS acceptable than the worst depredations of the Goths & Huns".
the COMMISSION of ATROCITIES WAS INTENTIONAL & a PREMEDITATED PORTION OF THE damnyankee regime's overall WAR PLAN.
