The Union Army purposely targeted civilians and robbing and pillaging with the consent of the General staff. Especially Sherman. It is fact and to white wash that is adding insult to injury. There was some crime committed by Southerners in Northern areas but that was against the General orders not following it like the case of Sherman’s Bummers. So give it a break and take your reconstructed version of history somewhere else.
You still have not addressed my comment that the article is not about robbing or destroying property, but about killing.
Dragging Sherman and Sheridan into the comments is an attempt to imply they killed civilians. Which they didn’t, in any quantity. It certainly was not their policy.
So who is the revisionist?
