So it must be God's truth.
So it must be God's truth.
How wonderfully lame.
Here's how this works.
I posted:
"Both Jeff Davis and Louis Wigfall, before resigning from the US Senate to go south, threatened the burning of Northern cities and the plunder of their populations as punishment (US Senate, CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE,10 Jan. 1861).
Stonewall Jackson urged the adoption of this policy (Henderson, STONEWALL JACKSON AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, London, 1898), adding that Confederate troops should fight under the "Black Flag" - no quarter, kill all prisoners - and proposing to Virginia Governor Letcher a week after Virginia's secession that he, Jackson, should set the example (Columbia, SC, DAILY SOUTH CAROLINIAN, 6 Feb. 1864).
What YOU have to do, is consult the sources, the Congressional Globe, and this book, STONEWALL JACKSON AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, and the Columbia, SC, DAILY SOUTH CAROLINIAN, 6 Feb. 1864.
Are these sources acurately represented or not?
If you won't consult the sources, then you obviously don't care about the points being made; they are unimportant to you.
You'd rather simply carp than add to the discussion.
