Then that doesn't say much for the good people of Georgia, does it? I can see them letting the Yankees starve to death without giving it a second thought, but letting their own troops starve to death too?
and GRANT did refuse to accept the union POWs back from the CSA, when President Davis offered the north to come and get them
I'm sure that if Grant knew that Davis intended to deliberately starve the POWs at Andersonville to death then maybe he would have made a different decision.
KNOW you would rather try to hide the TRUTH about abused/tortured/starved/murdered CSA POWs
I have no idea what the truth of the matter is. Either 3,000 or 15,000 or 26,000 confederate POWs were either starved to death or shot in the back of the head or drowned, it depends on which day you happen to be posting.
you want to think the leadership of the "oh, so wonderful & marvelous damnyankees" were DECENT, when they demonstrably were NOT, but rather were un-repentant WAR CRIMINALS.
you seem to want to quibble about an EXACT NUMBER of the victims of the damnyankee WAR CRIMINALS. does it REALLY make any difference if only 14,900 or 15,000 were murdered in cold blood? or if it were 15,100 who were MURDERED? i have REPEATEDLY said on several threads that i do NOT, nor does any living person, KNOW the EXACT number of abused/tortured/murdered POWs. and frankly, it makes NO DIFFERENCE. the TRUTH about the systemic/continuing WAR CRIMES is exactly the same.
but then, of course, they didn't abuse/murder/starve/torture any members of YOUR family.
frankly, i don't blame you in the least for wanting to deny the TRUTH;who after all wants to know/admit that the US government was just as evil in their mis-treatment of civilians & helpless POWs as they were? but TRUTH is TRUTH.
