Right or wrong, all of the soldiers did their jobs and there was plenty of war-crimes and atrocities on both sides. After that time, If I remember my history correctly, whenever a national crisis arose we all become Americans first and foremost.

BTTT - well said darkwing.
Bullshit. FreeRepublic doesn't - as evidenced by this thread and others. Troops can go rot, they've said so themselves, especially if they don't think the same way they do.
Well said.
ignoring such atrocities in the name of "let's all get along" assures that such things will happen again.
NOBODY can "whitewash" what sherman & his coven of war criminals UNDENIABLY did in the prostrated southland-NOBODY!

We keep fighting that war because the damnyankees keep taking shots at us. As you may or may not be aware, us Southerners are not a docile people; friendly, but not docile.
And in recent years, a small but growing movement has begun that is dispelling much of the yankee propaganda that has been passed off as history.
All I ask is that you yankees consider that some of the history of the War Between the States is, in fact, yankee propaganda used by the politicians of that day to further their own agendas and still being used to this day.
After all, look at your yankee politicians of today and try to envision what the Iraq War history would look like if written by Kerry, Kennedy, Hillary, Dean, Schumer, etc.
Now picture this gang being around in 1865.
