I like your tome, I can’t find much info on actual civilian deaths caused by Federal troops in GA. campaign. I think most of the atrocities were against property.

But...but...but...you said that killing civilians is what the Fed became under Lincoln! You said that just a few minutes ago in reply 516. Now you're saying that you can't find much info on civilian deaths? So which is the case? Were they mass-murderers or is there no evidence that they were?

If a child died of malnutrition because a Sherman or Sheridan burned all the crops they couldn’t steal do you really think the childs death was natural or caused by the Union?

But there would be evidence of those deaths, wouldn't there? I've read a lot of sobbing and blubbering done by Southern civilians during Sherman's campaign but I've never come across any that indicates that starvation and death was a widespread result of his actions. You have no problem claiming Lincoln murdered civilians in other posts, but don't seem to be able to back your claims up. Why is that?

It wasn’t until Stalin starvation of Ukraine that we witnessed an equal abuse of power.

Your abysmal knowledge of history is duly noted.

Non - Sequiter, you would have made a perfect apparatchik for Stalin. I tire of your schooled bigotry. When you and yours are on the spit, don’t bother calling for help, you will find none. You are a man of no identifiable qualities, but are rather a study of typical academic deconstruction. You may have missed the part where academics theorize after the fact while real men act in the moment. Try meeting some real people for a change, it would do you some good.

I am looking forward to your defense of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, and Castro. I believe they too, didn’t mind breaking some eggs to make an omelette. It is quite obvious the number of deaths does not dissuade you from their defense.
