in other words, you are UNwilling to say, YES or NO, whether slaughtering helpless POWs by the TENS of THOUSANDS was WRONG or not??
and/or whether you consider RAPING/TORTURING/ROBBING/MURDERING civilians was OK, especially since the VAST majority of the victims were "persons other than white".
140 years ago or 140 minutes ago, the question is the SAME.
so let's hear your opinion.
btw, can you get it through your head that:
1. that REVISIONIST historiography is a heresy of traditional scholarship, out of the most extreme LEFTIST/socialist, lunatic fringe of NORTHeastern academia &
2. that even the DAMNyankees, until AFTER the war, said that slavery was NOT the issue. after the war, when it became known what "preserving the union" had ACTUALLY cost in human lives/suffering, THEN the war became a "crusade against slavery". that is called SELF-delusion & DISHONESTY.

Did you even read my response? You are demanding an answer to a "When did you stop beating your wife" question and I told you I wouldn't play your silly kid's game. I then re framed it from the other side and you SURE DIDN'T WANT TO ANSWER THAT DID YOU!
As for 140 years ago or 140 minutes ago that is stupid. Just plain stupid. If you really want to go there then you must agree with slavery reparations at which point you and your family owe the descendants of slavery money for their enslavement. It doesn't matter if your ANCESTORS owned them or not they supported the people that did and so benefited from that condition.
So, how much do you owe? See how silly you are when the question is re framed?
Finally, I hate to hold your nose to reality but once again you cannot and will not address the speeches by the two duly elected heads of the Confederacy as to the reasons for the war.
The only lunatic revisionism here is on your part. The speeches were given at the beginning of the war and not after when the traitors lost. Either address the speeches which were the topic or admit you can't.
