What's your point? It's not like they're a negligable minor part of the war!
When someone pointed out that the confederates did the same thing at Chambersburg, even making the point that Chambersburg was on a smaller scale, you dismiss it with a 'attempted equivalence is amusing'.
Nonsense. I dismissed another's argument of trying to draw equivalence between the rural town of Chambersburg and, oh, let's say, the city of Atlanta. Somebody else on this thread had rightfully pointed out the horrible acts of Sherman's march. Then a yankee sympathizer came along and did exactly what you fraudulently accuse me of - he tried to dismiss Sherman with the "both sides did it" diversion. I simply pointed out that his diversion was fraudulent as a wrong at Chambersburg does not right what happened at Atlanta, and even if it did the scale of the two are incomparable.
Confederate soldiers looted farms, destroyed property, seized food, livestock, and horses during campaigns in the North.
Sure they did and it's wrong of them to have done so. And it was also wrong of Sherman to have done what he did, which was a wrong carried out on a scale hundreds of times larger than the worst of the confederate acts in the north.
You have not condemned those actions, only dismissed them when people bring them up.
Nonsense. Every time one of you has asked, I've openly condemned them as I just did now. That alone is significantly more than Sherman's actions ever get from your side when they're brought up around here. Your side's typical reaction ammounts to either dismissing it with your own line, "both sides did it," or the even more fraudulent argument employed by Walt - calling the widespread war crimes a "myth" and pretending they never happened. The former fails you as an argument for two wrongs do not make a right. The latter argument, used often by Walt, is disgustingly resemblant of the nazi sympathizers who deny the holocaust. And above all, neither approach shows any degree of remorse, condemnation, or even the most basic recognition of right and wrong. Both of you are guilty of attempting to excuse the inexcusable.
