[Mr. Silverback]

fwiw, what part of the NORTH was a "wonderland" of racial equality???

I'm not aware of any, but then I never claimed there were. I said that I had a problem with people who portrayed the antebellum South as something it wasn't. Learn to read.

imVho, as a member of "a minority group other than white", the MOST VICIOUS & INCIDIOUS racists in all of the continent are in "the oh,so POLITICALLY CORRECT northeast" & on "the left coast".

Great point. Agree completely. However, what the pustulous posturing of Northeast socialists has to do with the men from those states who fought over 140 years ago, or with Sherman and his Midwest farmboys, I have no bloody idea.

BTW, if Sherman did all that stuff you say, why did he and Johnston become good friends? Was Johnston willing to overlook tens of thousands of war crimes?

For Joshua Chamberlain and the Schofields,

all too many southern leaders "forgave & forgot" after the WBTS.

my ancestor (considering what had happened to OUR family) was NOT one of them, from what i have read of him.

i'd bet that FEW Jews, who lost family to the NAZI HOLOCAUST, has "forgotten or forgiven", YET!
