They should have been thankful to be transported to a more advanced and prosperous civilization.

Southern women and children, non-combatants, ripped from the homes and transported a thousand miles from home, and you claim that this was to a 'more advanced and prosperous civilization'?

But that's ALWAYS been the yankee mentality right? After all, y'all are the ones that did the same to Africans. You would gag a maggot.

I believe he's specifically referencing Robert E. Lee's mentality on the subject of slavery.

Which is like blaming a murder on the truck driver who brought the gun to the gun store. I guess those cunning yankee merchants must have tricked the south into buying all those slaves the same way Lincoln tricked them into firing on Sumter.

I'd like to see your evidence that the Roswell and New Manchester women were enslaved, by the way. From every reference I can find, they were simply transported out of the theatre of war and left to fend for themselves.
