Florida Rebels glossing over Civil War war crimes

And to fully correct the record,

There actually was a Confederate Louisiana Guard, but they never saw service, and it was part of the Confederate PR campaign.

What these unreconstructed rebs won't tell you was they were disbanded because the confeds had no use for them outside of the PR campaign, AND the Louisiana State Legislature passed a law in Jan. 1862 reorganizing the militia into only “...free white males capable of bearing arms… ”

You can see the law here: Official copy of the militia law of Louisiana, adopted by the state legislature, Jan. 23, 1862
 
I swear, this old chestnut does get tiring in the repeating.

Photo op by the Confederacy. Thumb this:

Black Union Soldiers - Louisiana Native Guard - Photo Falsification

Glossing? The Union general alleged to be insane and who apparently saw himself as "God's terrible swift sword" forced civilians out of their homes and set fire to the city of Atlanta. General Hunter followed the Union commander's (alleged to be a drunk) order to make waste in the Shenandoah Valley so a crow has to pack a lunch and he proceeded to burn every barn and loot civilian homes and kill stock with winter coming on his way south. During the Draft Riots in NYC there were Black men hanged from practically every light post. The atrocities that the Union army committed in the South during the Civil War would have made the Nazis blush.

But they won. We all know the winners don't commit war crimes. :D

The South shouldn't have started shit they couldn't finish. Rhett Butler was right.
 
If this was all about slavery, why did 4 slave holding states remain with the north? Why were their slaves not freed at the beginning of the war instead of well after the war? The Emancipation Proclamation exempted all slaves in Northern territory and all slaves in southern territory already under northern control.

Furthermore, the slaves in northern territory were freed by their states, not the union. Delaware was both the first and the last state to outlaw slavery. When they first outlawed slavery it was an economic disaster so they quickly reinstated it which may explain why they were the last state AFTER the civil war to free their slaves.

Your questions have been answer over and over on the Board over the years.

PM paperview for the documents that will answer your questions, please.

The winners write the history books but it wasn't about winning. The South just wanted to leave the Union and crazy Union generals ordered the murder of civilians for it. Who in the world could justify the burning of Atlanta? Nobody can so the history books just gloss over it.

BTW- "all out war" has been justified even AFTER the War of Southern Rebellion. google it.

The south got off very easy.

It should have all been burned to the ground. Every Confederate soldier's corpses should have been staked and lined the roads. Jefferson Davis and Robert E Lee should have been hung, their bodies destroyed and their heads put up on poles until they were flyblown. The Stars and Bars should have been made illegal to fly on pain of death.

The very mention of the war should have caused every Southern Confederate traitor to shudder in horror.

Oh well.

I put in a link on the 1st page that proves you wrong.

Your link demonstrated how wrong you were, and the photo was one of black Union soldiers.

Please stop fabribabbling.

As a military necessity, the act was perfectly justifiable within the rules of war.
