Certainly not, it is just that Yankees were so much better at it, and on such a grand scale.
Who else could have coerced and duped 21 million people into supporting a war for the subjugation of 9 million, by "any means necessary", all wrapped in the moral cloak of "preserving the union" and "emancipation", leaving all who survived to be indentured servants to the new "government", but a corporate lawyer, Yankee politician?
Talk about an atrocity?
btw, if Quantrill and his men had meant to kill "everything in sight", they would not have drawn up a list beforehand, and the death toll would have exceeded 1000, which you would know if you had read Duane Schulz's Quantrill's War instead of Leslie's BS.
Regardless, what does it say for the 5.6 million that they let themselves be led into war by a hack politician? A man who, once appointed into power, spent the next four years trampling all over everything that the southerners said that they were fighting for. Except, of course, for the institution of slavery. Everyting else - states rights, limited central government, low taxes, constitutional protection - Davis dumped all over. What does that say about them?
