If they were committed during the peace, how can you call them 'war crimes'?
during which the Southern Gentlemen raped, murdered, tortured as they pleased.
So, your family was raped, murdered, tortured? Are you black and a descendant of former slaves?
Actually, that is my wife's family.
You don't think that the white slavers didn't travel among the poor whites expecting and demanding the same deference that they got to slaves?
My, you are naive.
