...Lee and his Generals punished such men, when atrocities were committed.

I see. And McCausland's punishment for burning Chambersburg was...?

Lee issued an order forbidding looting of private homes. Sherman issued a similar order. Looting happened any way, in both armies. Yet you condemn Sherman and support Lee.

Well, apparently Sherman's Army ignored his order.... I know for a fact Sherman gave orders to hang civilians... I don't think Lee ever did....
