Neither of which were recognized Confederate Army units, unlike Gen. Sherman, who was fully recognized by Lincoln and the Federal army.

The original point still stands. The CSA only killed one Yankee civilian, and then on accident while the USA killed thousands of CSA civilians. Now either the South was a soverign country and this was just a part of war, or the South was still part of the Union and Sherman was guilty of killing thousands of innocent Americans. Even Bin Laden didn’t manage the death toll that Sherman did. So which is it? Was what Sherman did a part of war between two soverign States or was Sherman a war criminal?
