That is not even revisionist history. That is insane.
Not that bad. Sherman’s march wasn’t that bad. Raping, Pillaging, and Murder isn’t that bad?
Drowning blacks in a river isn’t that bad. Astonishing. I can only assume that you are one of the full throated defenders of the McMichaels. After all, wasn’t AA just a thug who got what he deserved? The Southern civilians apparently were.
As the man said, War is Hell. Sherman's March to the Sea had 3100 fatalities, of which 2100 were union soldiers. The Battle of Atlanta was 12,000, of which 8000 were Confederates Now, 9000 dead inbred rednecks might SOUND like a bad thing. But keep in mind, 28,000 Confedrates removed themselves from the Gene Pool at Gettysberg. 18,000 at Chuckamonga and 13,000 at Chancellorsville.
The South had plenty of chances to give up and stop this foolishness, they didn't.
