To say the United States Soldiers waged war on innocent women and children is treason. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Why do you hate America?

Bwahahahaha! I don't - I love this republic.

Get a grip. Treason is defined as a citizen waging war on the US or giving aid and comfort to her enemies. No Confederate was ever found guilty of treason. And the US DID wage war on innocent women and children, the Official Records are replete with examples of yankee brutalities. Mumford was executed for simply taking down a US flag. A Confederate scout had his eyes gouged out; civilians were burned alive in their beds; the Chief Justice of Georgia was hung in an attempt to obtain his gold; thousands of Southern women - white and black - were raped by yankees; entire towns were destroyed; the women and children of Roswell and Manchester GA were enslaved and sent North; some 100 Million (billions today) in jewelry, silver and gold and other valuables was stolen from civilians and sent North; thousands of acres of land were burned, homes destroyed, crops burnt, livestock shot; numerous civilians, some of them old men, shot by the military for no reason. Lincoln's henchmen arrested priests that refused to pray for Lincoln, federal troops prevented fair elections.

The founders believed 'Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.'

Yankees fought against that principle.

PS. Sherman admitted he was guilty of war crimes. In a letter to Lt. Col. John Rawlins under date of 4 Aug 1863, Sherman wrote 'you and I and every commander must go through the war justly chargeable with crimes at which we blush.' [The War Of the Rebellion. A Compilation Of The Official Records Of The Union And Confederate Armies, Washington DC: Government Printing Office, (1889), Series I, Volume 24, Part 3, p. 574]

To make such a statement is ignorance. You should learn what treason is.
