history is full of a great many strange and inconvenient truths. one of my ancestors fought with their slaves to hold back shermans murderous march. 20+ African slaves armed with rifles and one single old white man leading them against the federals. happened at the old savannah bridge after the yanks took savannah and began marching to Bryan county. when they got there they poisoned the wells with bodies which killed young and old black and white alike for miles around. you could read about it in the book "from beautiful zion to red bird creek" which is a local history of Bryan county GA. local histories like this one are a great place to read first hand accounts which hold truths not found in mcgraw-hill indoctrination books.
I grew up in the North and not once have I ever heard of this. In fact, I’ve noticed how many key details are left out of the history books I was taught from
No don't you see, subjecting slave states to cruel and unjust punishments is ok because reasons, but nuking the shit out of the Japanese for bringing it upon themselves is evil because it's not nice to harm/kill people who would totally do it to you if they could.
Yes, it's moral to subjugate and torture your brother states/citizens for crimes that only a small percentage committed, but it's mean to do the same to the Japanese, well known for the women to strap explosives to their swaddled babies to try and kill US soldiers who weren't even harming them.

Sherman went scorched earth, raped the women, and used the captured Southern slaves as Union war materiel.
For a war fought on muh slavery and to preserve the Union, no one seemed to have told the Union troops.

Interesting. I know stories like this exist across the south but you wouldn’t find them in any modern history book
