I said states, you specifically referred to the soldiers. Not surprising since you've held up Booth as a hero and a couple of you put down all northerners. The only people I've ever criticized is the ones that pushed secession, the slaveowners. I've never said anything against southerners, unlike you have of northerners. I've said it's a tragedy what happened to the Confederate soldiers since they had no stake in the outcome. You take glee in death, your April post proves it. Assassins will burn in hell.

As has been pointed out to you, you do so wrongly. The slaveowners were reluctant secessionists, knowing their property in flesh was secure for eternity within the bounds of the Union. It was those who sought greater political power who roused for secession.

#913 [#3Fan] The southern states got the bitch-slapping of all time. lol

There is the quote.

-YOU- were the one laughing at hundreds of thousands of KIA.

What are you laughing about? 110,070 Union combat deaths? 249,458 other Union deaths? 275,175 Union wounded? 634,703 Union casualties?

Perhaps 74,524 Confederate combat deaths make you laugh? 124,000 other Confederate deaths? 137,000 Confederate wounded? 335,524 Confederate casualties?

Perhaps a combined 970,227 American casualties makes you laugh.

Combat deaths refers to troops killed in action or dead of wounds. Other includes deaths from disease, privation, and accidents, and includes losses among prisoners of war. Wounded excludes those who died of their wounds, who are included under Combat Deaths. Ratio is the proportion of wounded in action to combat deaths. Note that the wounded figures do not include cases of disease. Under Percentages, KIA refers to the percent of those enrolled killed in action, Dead to the percent dead from all causes, and Casualty to the percent killed or injured. KIA/Month, killed in action per month, gives a fair indication of the intensity of combat
