in that case, you either think everyone here is STUPID and/or you're "in denial" about the DOCUMENTED facts.

the FACTS are that the HORRORS suffered by MY family were COMMON PLACE.

to quote Dr Susan Brownmiller, the union army "raged through the prostrate south, raping, robbing, looting & killing the defenseless, with gleeful abandon". in another place, she stated that, "the poorer you were and the DARKER your skin, the more likely you were to be SAVAGED, as it was "well known" to the union troops that NO OUTRAGE would be punished, unless it was against " the quality", landed, people.

as Dr Brownmiller is neither a southerner or "PRO dixie" in her outlook, you might think on that.

Susan Brownmiller is a feminist NUT. Thus it figures you would like her and give her credibility.

What book? What page? You're quoting at length there, so you must have the source at hand.

Nor is she a historian. She is a radical feminist polemicist whose primary agenda is to demonstrate that men control women through rape. It's not surprising that she'd take whatever lurid folk tales about marauding yankees she could find and toss them into her anti-male diatribe without bothering to check on their veracity.
