Every one of those greentexts is wrong.

I for one absolutely love /pol/fags LARPing as southern apologists, I really can't get enough of this edgy bullshit being spammed dozens of times a day.

Lost Cause bullshit.

There was no mass rape, mass murder or indiscriminate destruction of property. The image of marauding Yankee is a post-war myth.

You're probably from the South, sit back down or we'll burn Atlanta again.

>"You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it … Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail".

William Tecumseh Sherman to Prof. David F. Boyd at the Louisiana State Seminary (24 December 1860), as quoted in The Civil War : A Book of Quotations (2004) by Robert Blaisdel

>Was he the first modern war criminal?
I wouldn't really call it war crime, maybe something else. Its kind of a "peculiar institution" so to speak. Also it is a part of our heritage and I think you people should respect that.

I don't even live in Georgia, but Atlanta is a fucking mess.

>>2845790
How so?
