My in-laws hated Yankees with a passion. Their parents were children during the war and had experienced Sherman's troops coming through their farms and reconstruction, so perhaps their strong feelings were to be expected. Perhaps others whose families were brutalized during the war feel the same way. I suspect that is behind some of the posts you object to.

The majority of posters on these threads are history and heritage buffs. I've certainly learned a lot from them -- from your posts and from others. It has deepened my respect for the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the rule of law. We all probably share that respect. Cheers.

when it was YOUR family that was mercilessly SLAUGHTERED, ONLY because the were NOT white persons, it IS personal.

at least 92 members of MY family were robbed, raped,tortured & murdered during a 4-day drunken/bloodsplattered orgy by bluebelly WAR CRIMINALS. NOTHING was done to the perpertrators. NOTHING!

also if it had been a member of YOUR family who was abused, starved,tortured or murdered in one of the damnyankee CONCENTRATION CAMPS, i think you would feel the same as we desendents do.(FYI, 3 members of my family were among the murdered at Point Lookout, MD DEATH CAMP. several other freepers are members of that "pool of desendents" too).

at least 15,000 and more likely 30,000 were intentionaly murdered by the damnyankee POW camp staffs.

Your in-laws' parents were born in the 1850s?
