Depending on your viewpoint. In Texas we “stretched their necks” when we caught them.
I know you did -- they did it in East Tennessee and other places too. And that's not even mentioning what they did to Black Union POWs.
But at the same time you are full of "outrage" about the violation of the Constitution when Lincoln just locked traitors up for a while to keep them out of mischief or sent them south to be with their own. I have never heard of a single report of the Union ever hanging a Copperhead or any other pro-Confederate men in their midsts.
Your selective outrage slip is showing, Tex. The neo-confederates could give the Duke 88 some lessons on hypocrisy.
