200,000 is over the entire war and is nowhere close to 94%. How many served in the Union armies during 1961-65. A million or more?

You'll never COME to a conclusion. You make them up before you start.

Your own quote shows these men were not AWOL. Unless YOU get to make up the meaning of the concept. LOL

Because the South didn't treat the Drones as nature intended and as demonstrated by the Bee it was destroyed by them.

If Fidel Castro (or whoever is about to replace him as he's going to die within a year) said for us to get out of Cuba I would get out of Cuba same as I would expect them to get out of the U.S. were it vice versa.

Ahem: Guantanamo Bay is leased from Cuba and is nominally subject to Cuban sovereignty.

No wonder you associate with Lincoln so much. You're as jingoistic and dictatorial as he was.

Most interesting, although considering the pro-Southern slant of the author, I take his arguments with a grain of salt. I do commend the Confederacy for promoting Judah P. Benjamin to high office.

96% of them avoided service by paying for someone to take their place, my guess would be dirt poor immigrants and dirt poor Americans.

Doesn't really say much about the popularity of the war when 96% of drafted northers pay others as stand-ins and out those replacements over 200,000 desert.

Lincoln shoots off at the mouth that the war is about freeing slaves (riiiiiiggghhhtttt) and a couple months later you have 88 (that we know of) blacks lynched in New York City, a black orphanage burned to the ground, and riots the likes of which this country has never seen?

This was not even close to being a popular war and it was ramrodded down the throats of northerners.

More bloodshed in one war than in all our wars COMBINED yet you feel that it was validated, that that was the way to go about compromise in this country...to kill more Americans circa the 1860s than were killed in the Rev War, War of 1812, Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam, War on Terror. Geeeze.

interestingly, ONE Maryland "lad in gray" brought a PUNT GUN (designed for "market hunting" of ducks/geese in the post-1820 era, out of a "gunning skiff") to war.

my correspondent says that it was about a 3 INCH bore,a flintlock with a barrel over 7 FEET long & weighed about 70 pounds.

"the load" was reported to be a POUND of black powder & "six or more double handfuls" of lead shot. he says he has NO evidence that they ever fired this "miniature cannon" during the WBTS. he simply knows it was "TAKEN to war".(IF this thing was ever fired in the first days of the war, it MUST have been spectacular to say the least.)

fwiw, i have SEEN one of these "MONSTERS" at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum & i would NOT want to be on EITHER end, when it was fired! (the docent at the museum said that it was NOT uncommon to kill 250-300 ducks & geese with ONE shot. that alone should tell everyone something about the BRUTE power of this sort of punt gun.)

You are still not describing the facts accurately.

Ignoring those majority of forces which VOLUTEERED distorts reality.

Most of the deserters were NOT those paid replacements or draftees but from the TOTAL serving.

You are LYING about Lincoln claiming the war was about freeing slaves. WHY you LIE about something so false is a mystery.

There were worse race riots in the South after the war were more were killed. These lasted until the 1920 and spread to Chicago, St.Louis and Tulsa. Thousands of blacks were killed after the war by the KKK killers and other terrorist bands. The NY killers were supporters of the Rebellion.

The war was more popular in the North than it was in the South and those who ramrodded it down the throats were the Slaver leaders who started it. Lincoln had sworn an oath to defend the Constitution/Union.

I am not under the delusion slavery could have been gotten rid of without a war any more than Fascism could have been defeated without a war or Islamofascism without a war. Some forces are determined to have their way or die trying such was the fate of the CSA. My approval was not asked for.

can you PROVE any of this NONSENSE/nitwittery/BILGE, from actual, DOCUMENTED, primary sources???

NONSENSE, ignorant/personal opinions & knowing REVISIONIST LIES (out of the south-HATING leftist, extremist, lunatic fringe of northeastern academia) are NOT considered FACTUAL by normal people, btw.

laughing AT you.

Closer to two and a half million.

No wonder you associate with Lincoln so much. You're as jingoistic and dictatorial as he was.

... And the last 10 US Presidents from both parties who have no intention of leaving GTMO.
