Vigilanteman: "Maybe because he burned down a large potrion of one town..."

So, you're OK with Confederates burning down towns, murdering civilians (i.e., Lawrence Kansas), etc., just not Union troops, right?

So, how do you feel about allied bombings of Axis powers in WWII?

[Vigilanteman]

I'm OK with neither. I'm just pointing out that Sherman's depredations were on a much larger scale and had official sanction.

Quantrill, who led the murdering in Lawrence, Kansas, was officially disavowed by the C.S.A. command. As you are probably aware, Jesse James and other later infamous outlaws served under Quantrill who used the template of war to steal and murder.
