But both sides did do it, and to date I haven't seen any condemnation from you of the confederate forces for actions no different than those you condemn Sherman's men for. Your pious bleatings about violations of the rules of war lose their effect when they are as one-sided as yours are.

And as I said that is an invalid argument of excusing one wrong with another.

It is tough to see when you willfully blindfold yourself, as I have acknowledged the wrong those who committed the acts you speak of on practically every thread where my position on them has been asked.

for actions no different than those you condemn Sherman's men for.

No different? Are you asserting then that confederate forces participated in atrocities against northern civilians of a comparable size, scale, and degree of what Sherman did to Georgia? Please explain if you believe this to be so.
