Sure you did. Reply 118: “The indiscriminate bombing of Southern cities, which was outlawed by international law at the time, killed hundreds, if not thousands of slaves.”

Mea culpa. I should have said international convention at the time. There was not yet a formal international treaty codifying the laws of war.
