I studied the Civil War in school in New York State and again later in College in Michigan. I studied the "War between the States" my senior year in high school in Virginia, where I was informed by my peers that "it wasn't over yet." The way this war was taught in the South was so different from the North that at first I wasn't sure they were talking about the same war. Your essay is right on. It was General Sherman in his march to the sea that declared every man, woman and child as combatants, and murdered his way thru the South. I am really tired of being lied to by all of our current educational institutions and other authorities. Regards to all

"It was General Sherman in his march to the sea that declared every man, woman and child as combatants, and murdered his way thru the South."

AND THANK YOU GENERAL SHERMAN for helping the people of the South realize what their rebel leaders were too foolish to: That they could not win - and that they were part of one nation, indivisible. Do rebels who are still fighting the Civil War say that part of the Pledge of Allegiance? OR, are they like the liberals on the 9th Circuit?
