ITT: "Heroes" that would be considered war criminals if they fought for the other side

>It wouldn't be if we had won.
The people to blame are those who imported african slaves in the first place. Sherman merely accelerated the ending of an untenable and corrupt institution.

...

...

And the gentlemenly general Lee allowed escaped slaves in the north to be dragged back to the south in chains. And this from a man who epitomized southern "honor" LOL

>muh union fought for morals
It was never about freeing slaves

garibaldi literally did nothing wrong

Reminder that there were actual Confederate armies that he ought to have been engaging at the time, but he was too concerned with looting and being a chimpanzee. Confederate troops were still essentially pre-modern armies that weren't reliant on logistics like Union armies were.

PS enjoy your niggers you Communist fucks

Stay mad Cletus

>Confederate troops were still essentially pre-modern armies that weren't reliant on logistics like Union armies were.
So what are you saying is that they were incompetent and deserved to lose?

Exaxtly whose ships do you think they came on? Massachusetts and Rhode Island was built on the trade.

So did George Washington

this. Sherman's chimpout in Georgia did not bring the war to an end any faster. He would have been much more useful if he had chased Johnston into the Carolinas or cornered Lee in Virginia.

>atlantan
>native
they don't exist carpetbagger

>enjoy your niggers
You wouldn't even have niggers if the South didn't insist on having and breeding them to pick their cotton

>mfw the bedford poster still isn't banned

you know who else didn't?

He was literally marching towards Lee in Virginia when the war ended.

He captured Atlanta in September and didn't leave Georgia until January. There was practically nothing in his path until the Carolinas but spent 4 months looting instead.

You don't have to be a southerner to realize targeting civilians is wrong.

Commies.

...

>Southerners are lazy
>But Southerners also VASTLY outweigh Yankees in military service
>Southerners are mocked for their agrarian, prolitarian ways
>But they're also lazy
That shit was clearly written by a filthy Yankee

Well yeah, they did lose

But that's not the point

And you dumb as fuck abolitionists Republicans decided that it would be hunky dory to just set them loose. Retarded New Englanders thinking they know what Africans are like.

user that's literally every war ever. That's how it works, the winners by definition aren't war criminals.

>proletarian ways
you mean all that slavery?

The fact that southernors today still whine about the confederacy shows not only that Sherman was right, but that he didn’t do enough to these feudal larping southern artisticrats.

Do it again Uncle Billy

>The fact that southernors today still whine about the confederacy shows not only that Sherman was right
How is that?

>almost 200 years
kek

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.”-Sherman

Basically that the Southernors are were romantics for war, a terrible thing. His actions were made to visit The terrible reality of war to the South. The fact that people today cry about Sherman disrupting their noble war and cause only proves Sherman right about the south and that he should of done more to sear the terrible nature of war into them.

High and mighty words for a man good at killing women and not much at war.

Let's be real: looting made you rich. He avoided combat and took spoils.

>His actions were made to visit The terrible reality of war to the South
Gosh, it's not like the near entirety of the war wasn't already fought on southern soil

High and mighty words coming from slavers.

And he actually died pretty poor user, so try again.!

>moral relevancy

in the trash it goes

Time for you to renounce near all Western Civilization, being slaveholding and all

>morals of civilization evolve
>western civs ban slavery
>only southerners and mudshits keep it.
>southernors fought to keep what was now pretty much a mudshit practice outside of the west

Ahh the enlightened southernor

>proletarian ways
>slavery

>Proletarians can own slaves

>haha fucking rednecks living all agrarian
>they're also lazy though
Do you think ALL Southerners were plantation owners?

>it stops being profitable in your region so you ban slavery so you can enjoy the smell of your own farts more
>and kill your countrymen to do so

>H-he's a pussy so what he says isn't true!

So this....is the power of Confederate thinking

I won't hear words of right and wrong from a coward and a drunk

What can be expected from a man who lives a life in complete rejection of two of the four Cardinal Virtues

Didn’t call anyone lazy. We’re not all one person. Even if very few owned slaves, 600,000 of them died fighting to preserve the institution of slavery.

Civil war armies were really slow, because they were too large for the poor roads at the time and strung out for a very long distance, which means setting up and leaving camp each day took forever.

Sherman marched the 250 miles from Atlanta to Savannah in 36 days, which is fast by civil war standards. (7 miles/day)

In comparison, Lee's march from Brandy Station to Gettysburg took 30 days to covered 130 miles (4.5 miles/day).

Sherman took a month of R&R after capturing Atlanta, marched to the sea, then took another month of R&R in Savannah.

>we

Rather, others took it upon themselves to murder their countrymen to force a change.
Others just wanted to be left alone.

>What is Shiloh
>What is Vicksburg
>What is Chattanooga

>leave me alone and let me treat these people like animals
Nobody who supports such a vile institution is a countrymen of mine.

> Others just wanted to be left alone.

> passes Fugitive Slave Act that allowed southern slave catchers to violate the sovereignty of free states and enslave free blacks.

Point conceded

>is a countrymen of mine
Kinda the point then, y'all killed Southerners to MAKE us your countrymen.

An act passed by Congress, meaning a Union concession. Furthermore, in respect to escaped slaves only. Anything else is an abuse of the law I won't defend, but the law I will.

Tee bee aytch, it's more like we killed Southerners to hold onto the land and to prevent European powers from being able to play divide and conquer with North America.

Frankly, we should have depopulated everything south of the Mason Dixon line and filled it up with Swedes or some other group of people who actually work.

>who actually work
Considering the vast over representation of Southerners in the military, you really don't want SWEDES to replace that.

>Tee bee aytch, it's more like we killed Southerners to hold onto the land and to prevent European powers from being able to play divide and conquer with North America.
In your fanfic maybe

>I won't hear words of right and wrong from someone who hurts my feelings!

Southerners confirmed for literal SJWs
