ps - perhaps you’d like to discuss Andersonville and Ft. Pillow?
Shaking head in disgust with your sanctimonious attitude and ignorance. The truth is, I love talking about this stuff...with people who actually want knowledge.
Two things: 1) Address my points THEN we can talk about Andersonville.
2) If we talk about Andersonville, we also talk about Camp Douglas.
“Prisoners were deprived of clothing to discourage escapes. Many wore sacks with head and arm holes cut out; few had underwear. Blankets to offset the bitter northern winter were confiscated from the few that had them. The weakest froze to death. The Chicago winter of 1864 was devastating. The loss of 1,091 lives in only four months was heaviest for any like period in the camp’s history, and equaled the deaths at the highest rate of Andersonville from February to May, 1864. Yet, it is the name of Andersonville that burns in infamy, while there exists a northern counterpart of little shame.”
