Lincoln’s Union Army Was More Evil Than the Israeli Defense Force

Recently someone sent me a copy of Walter Brian Cisco’s book, War Crimes Against Southern Civilians. Until I began reading this book, I had regarded Israel’s “defense force” as the ultimate in barbarism. The Israelis justify shooting mothers and babies in the head on the grounds that all Palestinians are terrorists, and that the babies will grow up to be terrorists and that the mothers will have more babies that will grow up to be terrorists, and that is better to kill the mothers and the babies before this happens.

The Israelis acknowledge this, but if gentiles repeat it, they are dismissed as antisemites. So it remains knowledge that we know, but are not permitted to repeat.

Apparently, historians have the same policy toward the war crimes inflicted on Southern civilians by Lincoln’s Union Army that was nothing but an organized gang of plunderers, murderers, and rapists who make the Israeli “Defense Force” look like benevolent Christians.

Until Lincoln’s invasion of the Confederate States of America, war in the civilized Western world was confined to combatants. Lincoln broke the code of civilized warfare and conducted war against the civilian population of the South. The Americans and the British followed this practice in the war against Japan and Germany. The nuclear weapons of today mean that war is total and is conducted against all of humanity. Today we have this situation in which disagreement between the elites of two countries can result in the extermination of humanity.

The documented accounts in Cisco’s book of war against Southern civilians are horrific. In Missouri, for example, the populations of entire counties were forced on the penalty of death to leave their homes, businesses and properties and be relocated in Kansas. It was the precedent for Israel’s expulsion of Palestinians from Palestine.

In New Orleans, General Benjamin Butler, one of Lincoln’s many incompetent and hate-filled political appointees who had never commanded soldiers, responded to women who complained of the mistreatment of fathers, husbands, sons, and brothers by declaring the women “to be treated as a woman of the town plying her advocation.” Butler’s invitation to his troops to rape southern women astounded the British Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, who condemned it in a speech before the British Parliament.

Just as all Palestinians are terrorists, Southern men in towns under Union Army jurisdiction were shot or hung on the grounds that all Southern men were bushwackers aiding and abetting the Confederacy’s resistance.

When Union soldiers appeared in a Southern town, the town could expect to be totally looted and burnt to the ground. Cisco provides example after example.

When Lincoln’s army appeared on a plantation, the black slave women were mercilessly raped for the failure of slaves to revolt against their masters, thereby supporting the South’s war effort.

Lincoln’s war against the South was a war of hate. Many Union officers and generals were indoctrinated products of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a propaganda publication that demonized the South as a society of slave owners mistreating slaves, as Union soldiers actually did. The hatred generated by Northern abolitionists resulted in the worst war crimes in human history.

Corrupt historians busy at work feathering the official narrative have kept buried the true history of the so-called “Civil War” which was not a civil war, but an invasion of one country by another.

When I was  growing up in the South we knew that our ancestors had suffered grievously at the hands of the Yankees, but we were left with monuments, such as statues of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, that told us we had made a stand against greed-driven aggression from the North. The North intended for the South to pay for its industrialization via the Morrill Tariff, and, therefore, would not allow the South to secede from the Union despite the South’s constitutional right to do so.

But  the statues have been taken down, erasing public references to the South’s resistance to invasion.

When the extraordinary war criminal Abraham Lincoln went to war against the Confederacy, he went to war against the American Constitution. It was Lincoln who destroyed the United States that was created by the founding fathers as a union of sovereign states who had under the Constitution most of the governing powers.

As Lincoln repeated over and over and over, his war against the South was a war to make the South pay the tariff necessary to finance the industrialization of the north. Lincoln never said that he went to war to free slaves, at least not during his war. The Emancipation Proclamation was a war measure designed to produce a slave rebellion that would result in Southern troops leaving the front lines and returning to their homes to protect their families. The proclamation only applied to slaves in areas under Southern control. As Lincoln’s Secretary of State noted, the proclamation did not apply to any areas under Union control.

Lincoln’s war against the South anticipated by a century the Israeli Defense Force’s war on Palestinians.

I have always thought that the collapse of American morality occurred in the 20th century, but Cisco’s book makes it clear that American morality collapsed during  1860-1865 and the following decade of Reconstruction during which everything in the South of value was stolen by the North.

The South did not recover from its looting and gratuitous destruction until after World War II.

In view of the unprecedented harm Washington inflicted on Southern people, it is extraordinary that the military of the United States would not exist were it not for the voluntary enlistment of Southern men. These are men who know nothing of their history, or of the torment of their ancestors by the government to which they give their lives. If this is not the total failure of a historical consciousness, what is it?

In 1863 when General Robert E. Lee commander of the Army of Northern Virginia made the first Confederate invasion of Union territory, General Lee addressed his troops:

“The duties exacted of us by civilization and Christianity are not less obligatory in the country of the enemy than in our own. The commanding general considers that no greater disgrace could befall the army, and through it our whole people, then the perpetration of the barbarous outrages upon the unarmed and defenseless and the wanton destruction of private property that have marked the course of the enemy in our own country. It must be remembered that we make war only upon armed men, and that we cannot take vengeance for the wrongs our people have suffered without lowering ourselves in the eyes of all whose abhorrence has been excited by the atrocities of our enemies, and offending against God, to whom vengeance belongeth.”

When Lee surrendered his starving and barefoot army that the Confederacy could no longer provision, Union general Philip Sheridan wanted to massacre the surrendering soldiers and had to be admonished by Union general Grant. As soon as the Confederacy was conquered, the Republican government in Washington sent the Union war criminals Sheridan and Tecumseh Sherman to destroy the Plains Indians. The buffalo herds were destroyed in order to deprive the Indians of food, and the Republicans used germ warfare against the starving Indians. Strange, isn’t it, that historians can be so utterly corrupt to claim the Union fought a war in behalf of blacks, and as soon it was over, turned to the destruction of another people of color.

A Union soldier from Illinois wrote home that the Union soldiers had so abused the Southern blacks that “many of them have learned to hate the Yankees as much as our Southern brethren do.  The army is becoming awfully depraved. How the home folks will ever be able to live with them after the war, is, I think, something of a question. If we don’t degenerate into a nation of thieves, it will not be for lack of the example set by the Union army.”

The only civilization that existed in North America in the 19th century was in the South, and the evil war criminal Abraham Lincoln destroyed it.

And the monument to Lincoln has not been taken down.
