THE BATTLE OF ATLANTA: Civilians were Sherman's targets

Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | 07/16/04 | JOHN A. TURES

[stand watie]

in point of fact, i have NOT given up on a peaceful solution to the issue of LIBERTY & INDEPENDENCE for dixie.

THAT, alone ,makes me a moderate.

here's how i HOPE it will go:

1st QUEBEC will leave Canada,

then Los Estados Unidos de Azatlan will leave the USA

& then there will be a PEACEFUL secession by the NEW & MUCH improved Southron Republic.

any more violent choice is too horrible to contemplate, given the lethality of modern warfare!

"Surely such an action, if it actually happened, was documented somewhere? Anywhere?"

Third time, huh? That's enough to establish a pattern. You're just playing the cowardly game of sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling, "I can't hear you!". I should have seen it coming.

(Actually I did see it coming. I just wanted you to be seen doing it.....)

[Wampus SC]

"I'll answer it- I couldn't care less about the execution of southern insurgents. As rebels, that's all they deserved."

You should have at least been big enough to answer it to him directly, shouldn't you?

Yanktrolls

LOL! That's a new one to me. Very clever :^)

Hey, what can I say? :)

Yanktrolls are just a subspecies of a group that also includes The DU-In-Blue; The Imperious Benighted Order of the Blue-Klux-Klan; and Blue Devils. (No, not the Duke team. They're OK)

One of these days I'll have to post the field guide.

"You implied that Lincoln set a trap at Sumter. If his plan was to get Davis to initiate a war then Davis complied, didn't he? He fell for it."

Which means Lincoln was a basically dishonest, and a devious enough person to set it.

Davis made a common mistake. He assumed Lincoln was like he himself was. So, he figured Lincoln would act like a man, with some honesty an honor, instead of sneaking around practicing fakery to set his traps like a weaselly coward. That was Davis's mistake.

"Of course, nobody north of the Mason-Dixon line makes good barbeque.

They don't even know what it is. They think BBQ is a verb, when it's really a food.

Or they think it's something you cook on, rather than something you eat.

And everybody knows that the best BBQ in the world is at..... nope, not even I will go there :)

[Wampus SC]

"YEP it does. some here, judging from their comments ALONE, should go buy some "handsome black uniforms" with "the pretty silver skull" on the cap."

Yes, it's along those lines. But not even that is sufficient to describe the kind of evil they show in what they say.

"let me "splain something to ya'll", reference transplants:

their kids will grow up to be southerners.

their grandchildren will be SOUTHRONS & FIGHT for DIXIE FREEDOM &

their children will DENY that there was EVER a damnyankee in their family!!!!! (we're PURE SOUHRON, ya'll, all the way back, long before the WBTS!)

That's right. It happens all the time, after they see how much better it is here.

[Wampus SC]

"nope. zarf is just another scalawag, who has swigged down numerous glasses of the damnyankee kool-aid."

I've discovered that there are two formulas for that stuff. One is made from cold coffee. The other is made from hot tea -- WITH NO SUGAR! (yeechhhh). Yep, that's right.....

"1st QUEBEC will leave Canada,

& then there will be a PEACEFUL secession by the NEW & MUCH improved Southron Republic.

There would probably be a corridor running from Dixie, up through the mountain states, and into Alberta.

Here's an alternative scenario: 1) The Marriage Amendment is passed and ratified by the States. New England (except NH), and Minnesota, Wisconsin and parts of the Great Lakes States - where they think gay marriage is equal to the civil rights movement and emancipation of slaves - decides it's worth seceding over, and do.

2) As any of the anti-Sotherner gang here can tell you, secession is wrong, and must be put down by force. The United States uses its military might to suppress the traitorous insurrection. Massachusetts is totally devastated, and Amherst, Fitchburg, Hyannisport, Provincetown, and Boston are burned to the ground. The Yankee insurgents, though, realize that these things are good for their souls, and are grateful for the whuppin'.

3) After any insurrection comes Reconstruction. Congress dispatches highly trained teams of carpetbaggers from South Carolina. The carpetbaggers take anything of value, rob everyone blind, hold rigged elections at gunpoint, and generally oppress everyone. The Yanks, knowing how Constitutional and generally good for them this is, are ecstatic in their gratitude. The carpetbaggers from South Carolina become their heroes.

4) Within months of the end of the war, all Yanks have realized that it's all in the past. The get over it overnight, put it behind them an move on. When Southerners follow them around defiling the memory of their dead veterans, the Yanks shake their hands and thank them for it. And when Southerners gloat about the murders of their family members, the Yanks cheer wildly and throw parties for them.

This is what could - I repeat, COULD - happen. But don't mind me. It's Friday night. :)

Which means Lincoln was a basically dishonest, and a devious enough person to set it.

And which would also have to mean that Davis was basically too stupid to see that he was being set up and fell right into Lincolns clutches. Right?

So, he figured Lincoln would act like a man, with some honesty an honor, instead of sneaking around practicing fakery to set his traps like a weaselly coward.

Utter nonsense.

Third time, huh? That's enough to establish a pattern. You're just playing the cowardly game of sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling, "I can't hear you!". I should have seen it coming.

All of which is southron speak for, "No, I don't have any evidence to support my outrageous claims. I expect you to accept my stories on face value."

[Non-Sequitur]

The truth is that no country in the western hemisphere engaged in a war to free slaves.

True. But everything in my reply was true as well.

[Non-Sequitur]

FIRST, EVERY slave ship that was American-owned was from NEW ENGLAND

A blanet statement like that is absolute and utter nonsense, stand waite, and you know it. To claim that not a single, solitary slave carrying ship left any port but New England is nonsense. New England shippers were heavily involved in the slave traffic, true. But so were people from the mid-Atlantic and southern states. After slave imports were outlawed early in the 19th century, more and more involvement in the illegal slave trade was shifted south.

[stand watie]

i won't disagree.

this thread, otoh, has been USEFUL as it CLEARLY illustrates the cruelty, immorality & capacity for pure evil to our "readers".

according to the classic book, WHITE OVER BLACK, there were NO ships in the US slave trade from the southland. only from the north.
