[Non-Sequitur]

i.e. of starvation, intentional denial of medical care, denial of housing, of wounds & of disease

The more you talkt the more is sounds like Andersonville.

[stand watie]

the DIFFERENCE is the damnyankees had PLENTY of all the necessary and required supplies to give and CHOSE to be hateful/abusive to the POWs.

the south on the other hand by 1864-5 was STARVING. we had nothing to give the POWs at Camp Sumpter (indeed the records indicate that some of the GUARDS starved to death too)AND we offered to return the union POWs to the union forces without conditions. Grant refused to accept their prisoners.

also the southland did NOT committ intentional war crimes such as torture against union prisoners in CSA custody. several union prisoners wanted to testify for the defense at CPT Wirz's tribunal, but were not allowed to do so by the court;obviously, the damnyankees did NOT want to hear the truth.

may i gently suggest that you get a copy of PORTALS TO HELL by Lonnie R. Speer and read it, but not as "after dinner entertainment". the book is definitely not suitable for pre-bedtime reading to children.
