a lot of mistreatment of prisoners went on, on both sides.
That's because they're all dead now. If anything, the United States should stop celebrating confederate history with its racist ideas and its inequality towards women. There's no place for that in the current time, and we should literally ban the history of confederacy itself. They lost, therefore should be forgotten

The prison was very poorly supplied with food and medical provisions, and when Dr. Joseph Jones was assigned to investigate, he vomited twice during the one hour he toured the camp, and contracted a severe case of the flu which he warded off with oranges. He then asked the commandant, Henry Wirz, why Wirz was not suffering from scurvy, which was rampant throughout the camp. Wirz replied that he ate apples and oranges. “And the prisoners?” Jones asked. Wirz shrugged and said, “What about them?” Prisoners were able to pull out their own teeth with their fingers because of vitamin C deficiency. 3,000 died per month, or 100 per day.
They had no clean drinking water, but were forced to drink from the same creek running through the camp’s center in which they bathed and which caught about half of all liquid and solid waste. Wirz was tried, court-martialed, and hanged for murder on 10 November 1865, the only Confederate officer to be so executed. His primary defense in court was that the prison’s food and water never arrived by train. When he was hanged, his neck did not break, and he strangled to death for 9 minutes.

I'm pretty sure multiple were tried but only wirz was put to death

The North should've been put on trial for waging war on their Southern brothers

Women are not equal to men biology proves this. Look up sat math scores

do you realize that your country harbored Jefferson Davis after the war?

I wish Jackson would have murdered Clay and Calhoun
>>69904626
Sherman should have been tried for war crimes, this is true.

Daily reminder that if you can convince dullwits that their "freedumbs" and "way of life" are somehow threatened, you can get myriads of them to die trying to preserve privileges they'll never be able to afford themselves.

thanks for the reminder and another shitpost thread
>>69904626
Except the seizing of Robert E. Lee's house and property and converting it to Arlington National Cemetery.

Reminder to all the Johnny Rebs and Yankees in this thread.
Nobody won the war, there were only those who lost less. Yes the south was absolutely devastated, but the union was cracking at the end and tired of fighting. Radical Reconstruction only fueled the fracture in the north and the great divide between the north and the south.
Foote put it aptly, "to understand the U.S. you must understand the war." The sad part is that nobody does. Thanks to the shitshow that is public education in the U.S.

I'm pretty sure the munitions and war material suppliers came out pretty ahead. As usual.

thanks to the Bretton woods agreement, which residents of the district are trying to get repealed as we speak, make it happen, no one is above the law
>>69907652
we were taught a lot about the war in public school. I think that living in Franklin, TN had something to do with that, however.

>The North should've been put on trial for waging war on their Southern brothers
the financial powers who set up the conflict and profited from it should have been discovered and brought to justice, because they are doing the same today as we speak

that statue is incredibly famous locally. It's so poorly done, that it's almost a work of art.
>>69907652
>public education in the U.S.
set up by jews nazis and catholics
That was a mistake. Not sending blacks to an African colony or even partitioning the south to give them their own country was another.
>>69908640
it cracks me up how well Liberia turned out. it's basically what the american south would be like without white people to maintain order.
>>69904626
doesn't bother me though, lincoln got his sentence anyway
>>69905205
>inequality towards women
Why, because of the majority of confederate fighters were women?
>>69908240
The majority of Americans don't. They see it as a black and white conflict without putting any context to why yeoman farmers took up arms and marched with men like Stonewall Jackson.
It's taught, but not understood. That is the travesty, the war is viewed as the virtuous north conquering the racist south.

And completely shatter the south's economy by removing its labor force? it was already devastated enough.

Stop kidding yourself about why we fought that war

>And completely shatter the south's economy by removing its labor force?
That's what happens to you when you start and then lose a civil war.
>it was already devastated enough.
Clearly not, since the ex-Confederacy is a massive political power block in the country to this day.
