More crying from the South?
Davis did the usual hatchet job that Southern apologist do, but he did present first person accounts.He failed, however, to note that when blacks rebelled against slavery, they were burned to death. The South when they rebelled, were not burned to death, in fact, SHerman tried his best to get Hood to let women and children leave Atlanta. You should read the letters between Hood and Sherman. Sherman essentially tells Hood to quit hiding behind the women and children.Also, as Sherman told Hood, this war ends now if you want it to end. Davis urged Southerners to fight to the death-- he even told his wife to get herself killed, then he ran away in her dress -- yes really. See her letter and book. Davis meanwhile -- before he ran away in a dress --tried to shame others to give their lives. In his Macon speech, he made up stories about women "too many to count" that wrote him letters offering their younger sons to replace sons who had died already in the war. It takes a special kind of *^%$ to make up a story like that -- no such letters existed. But that's the kind of thing Davis did -- and he made Hood attack Sherman, and Hood lost the war for it.Already, by Sept of 64, according to Davis own speech in Macon, 2/3 of the Confederate soldiers had deserted or gone awol. IF just half came back, he said, the South could not lose. Idiotically, Davis urging Hood to attack not only got hundreds of Confederate soldiers killed, desertions grew even worse -- worse that 2/3. Eventually -- and all because of Davis -- so many had deserted, there was no real army left. As JOhnston told Davis, those soldiers who did not desert, were refusing to fight anymore. You can thank Davis for that.Did Burke Davis mention any of that? That's pretty basic. So it was fine for the South to burn people to death for rebelling against slavery, but oh my did they cry when the were defeated., The bullies got beat, and have cried for 150 years. Davis book is part of the crying.

The march was a horrible way for a country to fight its own people
