You're on a roll, buddy. Compare an uprising to preserve slavery that was suppressed, to the genocidal extermination of six million people. Brilliant. You really have no shame. My mother was an immigrant, and a Holocaust survivor. I happen to take this s--t rather personally.
their civilian family members murdered, raped,robbed and/or the POWs in their family murdered/tortured by the damnyankees it is precisely the same.
Don't be ridiculous. Y'all STARTED the damn war. If you didn't want folks killed, Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard would never have starting shelling the United States Army installation at Ft. Sumter. As for the treatment of POWs, I think Henry Wirtz eliminated any moral authority for the rebel cause.
in the case of our family, 92 innocent civilians & 5 POWs were MURDERED, because they were not white.
And what, exactly, does that sad fact have to do with the Civil War?
You had 5 family members fighting for the Union?
regardless of who started a war, it does NOT make it all right to COMMITT WAR CRIMES, like murdering/raping thousands of INNOCENT civilians and/or POWs in any military force's custody.
also, may i suggest that you go read the letter of 1989 from the Judge Advocate General of the US Army ot the Board for the Correction of Military Records, reference: the "judicial murder committed against CPT Henry Wirz, late of the CSA Medical Deapartment". a short abstract of that document follows:
the Captain was tried by a military tribunal, in violation of both US law and international custom upon evidence, which was known by the presiding officer of the tribunal at that time,to be perjury suborned by high-ranking officers of the US government. On that basis alone, setting aside the obvious dishonesty of the entire proceeding, the Board must set aside the verdict & sentence of the tribunal, correct CPT Wirz's service records to indicate those facts and make appropriate apologies to the family of CPT Wirz.
FYI, i am not your buddy.

Genocidal extermination sounds exactly what the great yankee, Gen. W.T. Sherman intended to practice.
