Bring the good old bugle, boys, we'll sing another song.Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along.Sing it as we used to sing it, 50,000 strong. While we were marching through Georgia.

Chorus
Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea
While we were marching through Georgia.

How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful sound. How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found.How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground.While we were marching through Georgia.

Yes and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears,
When they saw the honored flag they had not seen for years;
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,
While we were marching through Georgia.

"Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will never reach the coast!"
So the saucy rebels said and 'twas a handsome boast
Had they not forgot, alas! to reckon with the Host
While we were marching through Georgia.

So we made a thoroughfare for freedom and her train,
Sixty miles in latitude, three hundred to the main;
Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vain
While we were marching through Georgia.

Threadly reminder that the South are sore losers.

>>3157307
He literally did nothing wrong.

>>3157307
This is true, but that does not make the confederates correct.

>>3157307
His only crime was nothing ending the filthy traitors once and for all. The south is a blight on the States.

>>3157307
So good at marching through the south it should be a crime, yes I agree OP

The entire South should have been scorched.

>>3157307
DO IT AGAIN GENERAL SHERMAN

I live in Georgia, and I can honestly say DO IT AGAIN SHERMAN

The South wouldn't be so sore about the War, if Andrew Johnson hadn't messed up Reconstruction.

Also remeber. the 14th amendment is not constitutional. the CSA states were denied their right to congressional representatives and state governments until they ratified. they were being ruled by a military occupation government. none of this is constitutional.

"The Confederates entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to march through everybody else's land, and nobody was going to march through their territory. At Pittsburg, Shenandoah, Gettysburg, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naïve theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now, they are going to reap the whirlwind."

You stupid assholes. Why are you all so willing to fight a war that your own ancestors already fought to its end, and were completely done with at the finish? Do you really think you're that much better men than your grandfathers were? Yes, I mean both sides. Idiots.

You're taking this discussion way too seriously.

>>3157307
not when you win the war bitch

Destroying enemy's economic capacity isn't a war crime tho.
On the other hand, during both invasions into the North, Lee's armies actively sought and captured blacks, both freedmen and freeborn, to sell them on Southern slave markets. Additionally, CSA refused to recognize captured black US soldiers as POW and treated them all as runaway slaves, while treating white officers in charge of black units as instigators of slave uprisings, a crime punishable by death. I would say these are somewhat closer to actual war crimes.

Despite being a racist, he was one of the few northern leaders who realized you have to actually give the blacks land after you freed them for them to become productive members of the society and not marginalized lumpen proletariat. Which he actually tried to do, but the pussies in Washington overruled him.

Reminder that dirt-poor White hillbillies died by the hundreds of thousands so that a minuscule fraction of the Southern population could keep Black slaves, that undercut the White hillbillies and kept them dirt-poor…

>muh...muh civil w..war was about slavery

The Civil War wasn't about slavery, it was about the secession, but the secession itself was about slavery.

>>3163025
>Lincoln makes it perfectly clear that he will not mess with the Southern states rights to own slaves, only that this decaying industry will not expand to the west
>Southerners chimp out and declare secession as soon as Lincoln is elected, writing into their declarations how the Federals will not impose on their rights to keep the negro down
>Lincoln has the excuse he needs to liberate the slaves

What did the Confederacy mean by this?

>>3163292
Lincoln wasn't even on southern voting ballots and was a literal who to them. They didn't know who this guys was or where he came from but he was going to be in charge of them and change how they lived. They didn't like that so they seceded.

>>3157719
DO IT AGAIN UNCLE BILLY!

>>3157307
Daily reminder that the entirety of the south committed treason when they seceded, so not only were we legally in the right, but also morally in the right to shoot every single one of you uneducated fucks. Feels good knowing that the part of my family that was already in the States came up from Arkansas to join the Indiana regiments to shoot their retarded neighbors, and still have monuments of honor on their gravestones smack in the middle of traitor territory.

>>3163298
Lincoln himself wasn't the target of the Southerners scorn, it was the Republican Party itself, which made it perfectly clear that their policy would be slavery limited to the states it was already implemented in. Dixies freaked out about not being able to spread their influence into the new territories to the west.

> Lincoln wasn't even on southern voting ballots
That's because the states literally didn't put him on the ballots, too much democracy ain't good for you.
> They didn't like that so they seceded.
Seems like a very reasonable decision in a democratic federation.
>change how they lived
Right, by not allowing slavery into new territories, what a tyrant.

Aslo that's the point of arguing when we literally have declaration of secession, take the first one from SC,
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Declaration_of_the_Immediate_Causes_Which_Induce_and_Justify_the_Secession_of_South_Carolina_from_the_Federal_Union .

Or take the Cornerstone Speech by CSA's VP, https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Cornerstone_Speech :
> Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition. [Applause.] This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.

>>3163308
>we

The union couldn't even charge Jeff Davis for treason which is why they've spent the last 150 years virtue signalling about slavery to compensate.

>>3162115
>Those slaves kept on the plantations are keeping you poor, better free them so they can move to town and directly compete with you for wages
>Miniscule fraction of the south owned slaves

kek leftists are hilarious

>>3163961
>Miniscule fraction of the south owned slaves
But as much as 1/3 either owned a slave or had someone in the family who owned a slave. I.e. if a plantation owner had 9 adult sons who lived on profits from the plantation, you can't just say only 1/10 of them owned slaves, even if it was technically true. Besides, you don't have to own a slave to benefit from a slave-run economy, just like you don't have to own heavy machinery yourself to benefit from industrialization.
