Revisionist Yankee BS. Aunt Charity Anderson, a former slave, in the Slave Narratives actually wished for the old days of slavery comapred to emancipation. One slave asked her master to buy hundreds more, there are accounts of slaves willingly volunteering & fighting for the Confederacy. The Yankees were the one that threw slaves overboard, the ones that sailed to Africa, the ones that plugged the rectums of dysentic slaves to hide their disease.
Uncilivilzed, barbarous, ignorant, stupid, malevolent, evil, illiterate. Underrstand?
You don't need to describe yourself, I can form my own opinion.
Burn that trash rag so people don't know you ever had one.
Again, I don't understand why you want me to burn my American flag.
Farragut could only scare the city into letting him put up a flag. Common sense to avoid a shelling.
We already know that the city only had a thousand men to defend it, and that Farragut had a fleet of 24 ships. According to Butler's Book, p. 358:
In two days after the bombardment commenced I had six thousand troops in the river in different sailing vessels, and I had more in the Great Republic, a sailing ship of three thousand tons burden, which could not get over the bar. The army was all ready.Add to that 'Captain Porter, with his fleet of twenty-one bomb-schooners', and 'Captain Farragut's fleet should remain out of fire, as a reserve, just below the bomb-vessels. The army, or so much of it as transportation could be found for, should remain at the mouth of the river.'
Scared the town into 'letting him put up a flag'? Wow, the invades had almost 50 ships, well over 6,000 men in the army, plus all the men on the ships. Faced with better than 7 to 1 odds, it still took 10 days to subdue the Forts & the city.
The man who sanitized and civilized New Orleans, the man who put nearly 200,000 Americans of African heritage into arms to fight for their freedom
LOL! You mean CONSCRIPTED - it wasn't like they had a choice.
the man who gave Grant the ways and means to beat that piece of garbage slave master Lee, and the man who's Army Corps of Americans of African heritage hwo could knock down Lee's best foul racist bastards
Butler was a crook from the word go. The policies he gave Grant - the attack and murder of innocent civilians, the rape and torture of Southern women and children, the starvation of families, the enslavement of blacks, the capture and destruction of entires towns, the enslavement of the women of Roswell GA, the theft of BILLIONS of Southern property. Is that what you mean? I'm gald you admire him so much, I'm sure you have much in common.
How dare you defame US servicemen on the basis of their race! Shame on you!
