In before the Southern hating Anti-Free Republic Federal Bootlicks.
It is amazing that the Civil War still causes emotions to run high.
I was a Pro Lincoln, Pro Union person in my youth. Then I started Reading about how “Honest Abe” abused the Bill of Rights and then I started to change course.
Did both sides commit “war crimes”? yeah, most likley. War didnt have a rule book to follow back then, so troops on both sides just followed tradition of rape, pillage and what not. It was done all over the world and was not frowned upon.
We cant use 21st century eyes to view 19th century wars.
Just my opinion...I think the South had a lot more points in their favor and Union folks see the noble cause of abolishing slavery to “OK” everything that was done in its name.
