I suppose that you hate Big Oil, Big Tobacco, Big Pharma, Big Fast Food, etc., for what they do to us 'mudsills', too.
It's kinda interesting that you despise Southern planters for alleged atrocities against your mudsill ancestors but you but admire the yankee rabble who did far, far worse.
I think you've got issues....
As far as Lee, I respect the fact that he recognized the stupidity of secession.
But yet he fought so hard and gallantly to ensure it's success....
Too bad Virginia did not stay in the Union or it might have been Robert E. Lee burning South Carolina instead of Sherman.
Lee was an honorable man, totally unlike that rabble from the north. It is inconceivable that he would commit atrocities against noncombatants the way that your stinking heros did.
Don't believe it? Read High Tide at Gettysburg for a detailed account of the behavior that Lee expected from his troops when they were on foreign soil and compare that to your stinking yankee heros actions.
I wouldn’t be so sure about Lee. Lee did what he had to do to win the war. He couldn’t do what Sherman did because he had a huge enemy army close by to fight. He also had no wish to unite the North over what would have been an incomplete destruction. Had he been in Sherman’s place he might have done the exact same thing in SC to hasten the end of the bloodshed. Besides, I suspect Lee had no more respect for the South Carolina knucklehead secession element than any other thinking person.
ROTFLMAO!!!! I guess rounding up free blacks in Pennsylvania and shipping them South doesn't constitute 'atrocities'.
Read "Gettysburg" by Stephen Sears, "Gettysburg: A Testing of Courage" by Noah Andre Trudeau and "Retreat from Gettysbug: Lee, Logistics, and the Pennsylvania Campaign" by Kent Masterson Brown for detailed accounts of what Lee's troops really behaved like. With Lee's blind eye if not full support.
