That demand for "one civilian name" is getting old. It seems you cannot come up with anything new, why is that?

I'll keep running this up the flag pole, so to speak, as long as it keeps being said that Sherman's men raped and pillaged their way across the south. That didn't happen. So far as I know, not a single civilian was executed by Sherman's men or on his orders.

But "one civilian name" you say. Here are the names of the forty loyal Texans hanged by CSA authorities (or lynched while CSA authorities looked on):

Nathaniel Clark, Wernell, Richard Martin, Grandpaw Burch, H.J. Esmond, Ward, Evans, Clem Woods, Wolsey, Manon, Leffel, A. B. McNeice, Wash Moirris, Wesley Morris, Thomas Floyd (shot), John Crisp, James Powers, Rama Dye, J. Dawson, Wiley, K. Morris, Barnes, Milburn, W. Anderson, Gross, Ward,, Dr. Johnson, Childs, Senir, Childs, Junior, Hampton, Locke, Foster, Fields, D. Anderson, D. Taylor, R. Manton, Jones, carmichael, Henry Cochran.

--from "The Civil War Recolections of Lemuel Clark"

It sure is funny that a bunch of cold blooded murderers could be the subject of a cult of veneration.

When are you going to get it through your head, Walt, that when the Yankees did it then it was an atrocity. When the confederates did it then it was all part of the noble struggle for sothron independence and states rights.
