You're whole post is a crock, but I'll depart from this.
First of all, as I have posted to you more than once, a number of Sherman's men (as many as 10) lodged in a jail were taken out and shot. They were not "criminal looters". On another occasion, 18 union soldiers were found dead in a gully. They were not criminal looters either. On another occasion, 7 Union soldiers were found murdered. These men were soldiers in uniform in time of war. They did nothing illegal simply by being in Georgia. By the standard you would apply, all that CSA shark bait up at Camp Lookout could have been executed too.
I can't imagine what sort of experience could warp someone into making the posts that you make. You will say anything, be it untrue, unreasonable or just fantasy.
As many as 50 of Sherman's men were murdered by CSA forces --regular CSA forces. And that's all it was, murder. And you can't name a single civilian that was murdered by Sherman's men on the march to the sea. You can't show, even by your count, a dozen rapes by an army of 60,000 men.
Sherman's men were -very- well behaved and your blizzard of lies won't change that.

No Walt. I don't believe you have posted it. If it did happen and you can document it, its a true shame and an admitted wrong. If you are making it up though like you do on so many other things, that's another story.
On another occasion, 18 union soldiers were found dead in a gully. They were not criminal looters either.
Without further details of the incident, that cannot be known for sure. If the bodies were found dead in a gully as you describe, it is highly possible they were looters. Confederate sharpshooters were known to fire on and kill the Sherman-sanctioned criminals in the act then deposit their bodies in a single location with a warning note against any future looters.
On another occasion, 7 Union soldiers were found murdered. These men were soldiers in uniform in time of war. They did nothing illegal simply by being in Georgia.
Again, without further detail it is not possible to know the circumstances of their deaths. If they were looters as was often the case, then no, they were not murdered. They were shot while committing criminal acts. That uniform does not excuse criminal acts, Walt. Men have raped, murdered, stolen, and committed arson in that uniform.
By the standard you would apply, all that CSA shark bait up at Camp Lookout could have been executed too.
No Walt. For starters, two wrongs do not make a right. More so, Camp Lookout had many thousands of victims, all of them POWs in a federal prison camp, not some isolated shooting of half a dozen under possible circumstances of looting in the middle of a war zone.
I can't imagine what sort of experience could warp someone into making the posts that you make. You will say anything, be it untrue, unreasonable or just fantasy.
You're projecting again, Walt. Give it up.
As many as 50 of Sherman's men were murdered by CSA forces --regular CSA forces. And that's all it was, murder.
Call it what you want, but under any objective definition the shooting of a criminal in the act is defensive and is therefore not murder.
And you can't name a single civilian that was murdered by Sherman's men on the march to the sea.
One truly has to laugh at the constantly changing criteria you demand for murder victims, Walt. It's laughably inconsistent on your part and thoroughly exposes your true agenda, which is nothing more than a holocaus-denier style attempt to pretend the yankee war crimes did not happen.
- First you demanded the names of a rape victim of the yankee invasion. I gave you several with documentation and dates. You ignored them.
- Next you demanded that it had to be one of Sherman's men who did the rape and implied that others didn't count. I gave you several incidents from Sherman's men with documentation and dates. You ignored it.
- Next you demanded I name a confederate - any single confederate - who was murdered by Sherman's men. I did so by naming one with dates and specifics. You changed your criteria again and suddenly he didn't count.
- Next you demanded that it be a civilian murdered by Sherman's men after arbitrarily deciding soldiers don't count. I gave you several civilians with full documentation and dates.
- Now you have narrowed it down even further and are demanding a civilian non-soldier murdered by Sherman's men, but you say it only counts if it happened between Atlanta and Savannah.
I have no doubt that with due research, incidents will turn up on this latest criteria. In typical fashion though I fully anticipate you will change them to an even narrower scope once it becomes so that you are proven in error on this one as well, Walt. What next - it only counts if the murder victim was a female from a non-slave owning family between the age of 10 and 40 who was executed before dawn in a cotton field within a 10 mile radius of Columbia? That certainly appears to be the direction you are going, Walt, and it shows nothing more than just how desparately you are grasping at straws.
You can't show, even by your count, a dozen rapes by an army of 60,000 men.
Already have, Walt. Repeatedly. I provided you names, dates, rapists, and units. You ignored the list every time and demanded a new set of criteria for some other crime, which you similarly ignored when I provided evidence of it. You are simply in denial, Walt, and it shows.
