Baloney. Lee and Jackson did not make war on women and children. Their "enemies" may have been legion, but their targets were Union soldiers. It was not accepted practice by the regular Confederate Army, not in the South, not in Pennsylvannia, not anywhere. Your insinuation seems to imply they were capable of the atrocitities commited by some of the Union generals.

The "Lost Cause" mythology comment belies your other post about respecting Confederate veterans and relishing their defeat.

"It is stated in books and papers that Southern children read and study that all the blood shedding and destruction of property of that conflict was because the South rebelled without cause against the best government the world ever saw; that although Southern soldiers were heroes in the field, skillfully massed and led, they and their leaders were rebels and traitors who fought to overthrow the Union, and to preserve human slavery, and that their defeat was necessary for free government and the welfare of the human family.

"As a Confederate soldier and as a citizen of Virginia, I deny the charge, and denounce it as a calumny. We were not rebels; we did not fight to perpetuate human slavery, but for our rights and privileges under a government established over us by our fathers and in defense of our homes."

Richard Henry Lee, Confederate Colonel
