Doubleday basically admitted he was trying to kill people. He didn't believe the stories that no one on the the Southern side was killed during the days of bombardment, and he had witnesses to prove it. He stated he didn't care for Anderson's attitude of limited warfare or Anderson's relief that no one was killed. Historians have explained that the none use of the upper tiered guns was because it was too dangerous in for the gunners to expose themselves, Doubleday complained it was because those guns would have been the most destructive and Anderson was limiting the damage as much as possible.

Using Doubleday as a source is questionable, as his other works prove.
