He makes a good point...his ancestors in Jamaica and Guyana always used these tactics (in fact, they still do!) and the results have been fantastic. Those are great places to live.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Perhaps he should go back to Jamaica where things are so much better.

Most of the southern soldiers DID get the death penalty, and I'm sure in the years that followed, those that survived wished that they had also died in that war. I wouldn't respect any foreigner's opinions on that, no matter what they were. That war was a mistake and those who made that mistake paid dearly. No need to revisit that just to opine that even more punishment was warrented. Only a person who believes in unforgiveness could hold such views. Therefore, they're worthless.....
