Why don't you tell us about Uncle Billy The Great Liberator and how welcomed he was while you're being totally delusional.

You must have missed my oft posted account of the heroes' welcome Sherman's troops received when they arrived in Red Clay, Georgia.

I don't know about you, but part of my family was in Sherman's path and the death toil to those relations could be attributed to Gatewood's Confederate Rangers 1, Sherman's Yankees 0. Life became a lot safer for my people when Sherman was around and Confederate sanctioned semi-official criminals like Gatewood were suppressed. In a way, Sherman's bummers might have been a just retribution on South Carolina for aiding and loosing such cooks as Gatewood and Champ Ferguson on the Upper South.

Meaningless. The French welcomed the Nazi's in WWII. By your definition, the Nazi's were liberators.

The majority of my family was from Goldsboro, NC. Look it up.
