As a native of the emerald isle, sir, I don't see you as having a dog in this fight. It's just the typical history written by the victors and what they write is usually 99% hogwash. So why shouldn't a southerner try to set the record straight, biased or not? King Abraham was the major cause of the conflict with his "proclamations" and the same old tired GOP rhetoric that has been attempting to circumvent the constitution both then and now. 
I still feel that General Sherman should have been tried for war crimes. Just for the burning of Atlanta alone. Lincoln got what he deserved. All the south got out of it was wrecked. Damn Yankees! |
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan....
Isn't it amazing how they sought a "final solution" to the indian tribes. Notice how we celebrate these men for the CW, but hardly mention their enslaving and exterminating the indians for the progression of industry.
Sherman burnt our family farm/plantation. When his bummers came, only an elderly uncle was there. I'm sure he put up a big fight.
