All right!! Someone who knows the truth.
it has "something to do with" 92 members of MY family being raped/robbed/tortured/murdered by DAMNyankee cavalry during a bloody, 4-day drunken orgy ,as if they were NOT humans, just because they were "other than white persons".
the DYs were REALLY good at committing ATROCITIES, if you happened to be Asian, Black, Catholic, Jewish, Indian, Latino Quaker and/or "the poorest of the poor".
the TRUTH is that NOBODY in the union "high command" CARED about "people that that", so the troops VICTIMIZED them with pleasure.
i've often thought it ironic that the same "crusaders against human bondage" were the same war criminals, who slaughtered the "minorities" with gleeful abandon. in all too many cases the ONLY thing the invaders FREED the slaves from was being ALIVE!
