a MINORITY of the union military forces WERE monsters, as they came south OBVIOUSLY to prey on the weak, defenseless & for $$$$$$$. those are "the FILTH in BLUE", that committed the TENS OF THOUSANDS of WAR CRIMES against the most vulnerable of southerners, i.e. the racial minorities, the religious minorities,the "poorest of the poor" AND the helpless CSA prisoners of war, who were "in the especial care of the union army".

sherman, the destroyer, certainly FITS that mold (as he did NOTHING to halt the ATROCITIES committed against the helpless by his troops), as does MG benjamin (THE BEAST) butler. (BOTH have a seat "near the hot part of the eternal fire", imVho.)

otoh, the vast majority of the "billy yanks" were DECENT, as LTC Josh Chamberlain was. frankly, i know of not even ONE southerner who thinks all the unionists were evil or criminals.

on the other hand, i have NOTHING but CONTEMPT for those who DENY the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of atrocities that WERE committed by the "criminal minority" of the union army.
