No, that'd be a dead on description of THIS guy:
Apparently not. On his headstone the family spelled it "Quantrill". It's spelled "Quantrill" on the marker in his birthplace of Dover, Ohio as well where his skull is buried.
and NO he wasn't a terrorist.
How about "psychotic butcher"? Would psychotic butcher describe him better?
I am sure you know it already but for those who don't...It's useless debating Watie. He lives in his own bitter world where every evil perpetrated during the War Between The States was solely the fault of the "damn yankees".
It's usually a waste of time and energy trying to reason with him but his rants are curiously entertaining sometimes.
"psychotic butcher" well describes most any of the DY redlegs/jayhalkers from KS, but especially "Colonel" james lane & ""doc" jennison.
BOTH were nothing more or less than COMMON CRIMINALS, who preyed on innocent civilians on BOTH sides of the war.
BOTH deserved HANGING. (i realize that "wearing the blue" makes every CRIME perfectly OK with DAMNyankee apologists, but aren't you ASHAMED to defend FILTH like the KS criminals???
