I can't wait to hear your revisionist historians' twisted justification of why the same Federal-supremacist generals who boasted and gloated about burning homes, barns, and crops and killing livestock in a 60-mi-wide swath of Georgia, specifically to starve and demoralize the civilian population, waged even more extreme genocidal war against Indian tribes, killing off their food and clothing supply (buffalo) and killing women and children. Thank goodness, one of their number led a cavalry charge through what he thought was a helpless Indian village one too many times, and the Yankee egotist lost his pretty blonde locks.

The message of the Yankee imperialist army against the Indians was the same as that against the secessionists: "You mess with the Federal govt., and we will destroy you." A message with which no conservative would ever sympathize.

I also think you need to get some therapy for your Lincoln idolatry from that well-known Copperhead and defender of the principle of secession, Walter Williams.

"War is hell." How's that?

I get all the Southron revisionist crap I need from reading your posts.
