-------------President Lincoln was too kind to the south he should have let General Sherman continue even after the south was whipped and utterly defeated
"I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy."
"My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom."
William Tecumseh Sherman
A true tyrant and war criminal.
And the leaders of the confederacy's purpose was to deny freedom to slaves and to break up the union to preserve slavery.
The Union fought for the freedom of slaves and the preservation of the Union.
Who was the tyrants and who were the criminals of history.
The poor confederate soldiers were the pawns of idiots like you
