I never watched the movie. We have picture evidence of Southern brutality towards the slaves. Then, of course, we have Senator Douglas who compares them to alligators.

You're trying to argue rationally with a bunch of misanthropic malcontents. I'm a Southerner... I've met hundreds of these people. You just have to laugh, ignore their ranting, and tell them to just make sure they show up to work for you on time.

Post them and their references. I dare you.

I'll then point you to the Wills of Slave Owners. Most of the time the Slave Owners had their slaves freed.

Then of course we have a war criminal comparing all sorts of races of people as inferior

Sherman himself certainly did not believe that "each man is as good as another." For example, in 1862 Sherman was bothered that "the country" was "swarming with dishonest Jews" (see Michael Fellman, Citizen Sherman, p. 153). He got his close friend, General Grant, to expel all Jews from his army. As Fellman writes, "On December 17, 1862, Grant . . . , like a medieval monarch . . . expelled ‘The Jews, as a class,’ from his department." Sherman biographer Fellman further writes that to Sherman, the Jews were "like n****rs" and "like greasers (Mexicans) or Indians" in that they were "classes or races permanently inferior to his own."

Should we take the union flag of the grave of men like that too? Wonder when Morris Dees is going to have a conclave attack the memory of this 'hero'...

REMEMBER FORT PILLOW, the massacre at which was led by the truly dispicable Nathan Bedford Forrest.
