OP, trolling is a fine art that takes much skill to perfect. Your total lack of finesse proves that you're a rank newbie at making b8 threads and need to work on making them less obvious and more subtle.
He knew what the eternal southerner was and how to reason with them.
I'm not trolling. I seriously hate all non-southern americans. THEY ARE THE REASON WHY I'M IN FUCKING POVERTY YOU MONGOLOID!!!
The Yankee troops were under orders from General Sherman to arrest everyone in the towns, as they are connected to the factory production, and destroy the resources that sustain the mills and the people. Refinements of Confederate militia posted as outlooks spotted the sizeable approaching troops commanded by Colonel Adams and Major Tompkins. Artillery following the Union forces took aim on the mill located on the Sweetwater Creek. The site was terrorizing to the workers, mostly women who posed no threat to the Union soldiers. Henry Lovern and A.C. "Cicero" Tippens who were operating the mill were soon arrested by the Army officers. Guards ordered to escort all the workers home and to put the town on marshal law. In effect they arrested every citizen in the community, and thus closing the mill. Adams and Tompkins told the townspeople that their operation was to protect them from being in harms way when the fighting commenced. They informed the citizens that as soon as wagons could be obtained, they would be transported to a safer location miles to the west.
With the the town under control. the Union troops searched the entire town, taking some property and destroying other property out if spite. Soldiers also broke into a safe attempting to locate valuables. Union patrols were sent to other areas such as Ferguson's Merchant Mill and Alexander's Mill. Tompkins took a sizeable part of his cavalry and moved on to Roswell to confront the operators of the mills there.
haha, what a swell guy
See
Georgia was one of the main suppliers of food to Lee's army thus destroying its agricultural output was essential to winning the war.
>>willingly fired upon civilians
No such thing as a civilian traitor
is the civil war the biggest "start shit, get hit" event in history? It's really undeniable that fault lies almost wholly with the aggression of the South and that they were defeated fair and square. Yet stupid Dixiecucks still whine about it and accuse everyone else of all manners of things
you fucks brought the niggers in the first place
Seriously, the North wasn't even fighting with their full strength. To them it was just a little side venture that you would read about in the papers every now and then.
>Seriously, the North wasn't even fighting with their full strength. To them it was just a little side venture that you would read about in the papers every now and then.
not him, but if you disagree you really don't have a firm grasp of the period. The North was far from using their full manpower reserves or industrial strength and plenty of people had little to do with the war effort
I would say 600,000 dead people is hardly a skirmish. By the end of the war the Union had one million men in the army and 600 warships.
Just a reminder that Southerners were, are, and forever will be traitors they hated America before the Civil War and they still hate America now. I think us true patriots should go down there and teach the assholes some respect. Maybe they'll finally learn the true meaning of liberty when they have a bayonet shoved down their throats.
Firing on Ft. Sumter was the critical mistake--the South drew first blood and therefore came off as the aggressor in the war, making it harder to obtain European support.
>guy whose ancestors probably were still in Europe in 1861
>guy who probably also lives somewhere that wasn't even a state back then
we should not have formed a union with the Southern states it was a mistake from the beginning
I live in one of the original 13 Colonies assface. Suck my big long Yankee schlong.
Youre a fucking faggot if you think the south wont rise again and shit all over the stupid fucking gross pedophillic Yankee north
And your ggggggrandfather was probably a potato farmer in Slovakia back then. I think I read that only about 20-30% of Americans have ancestors who lived here in the antebellum period.
I'd like to see you try. Your arrogance will be your undoing. Again.
I guess history really does repeat itself.
Are all Yankees as big a faggot as you?

The South was so desperate for manpower that when Lee's army finally abandoned the Petersburg trenches in April 1865, the Union troops were shocked to find the bodies of old men and boys as young as 14 in them. It was like Germany at the end of WWII when they had 70 year olds and literal children being conscripted.
Do the math. The population of the eleven Confederate states was about 4 million whites and an addition 4 million blacks. This translated to just slightly under 1 million white men of military age. The population of the Northern states was about 20 million (per the 1860 census) so that translated into almost 10 million men of military age. A steady flow of European immigrants ensured even more bodies; in some cases, immigrants who could barely speak English were being grabbed off the docks and hustled to recruiting stations.
Probably about 7-8 million young adult men in the North by those figures (assuming that 20 million figure was split near 50/50 between men and women). The point stands however that the North never came close to max-ing out its available manpower and right to the end of the war, there were entire divisions of troops who never fired a shot.
The collective movement of armed men towards a major body of water, possibly?
I could swear I've seen this same exact post somewhere before.
My ancestors fought to defend states rights against Lincoln's gross expansion of Federal power.

>Yank complaining about yanks
I am missing something here.
imagine spaniards complaining about catalonians, or brits about the scottish
He did nothing wrong
war is hell
Separatism is a mental illness
It's amazing how Robert E. Lee, the fucking Confederate general, had more honor than just about every alt-right "neo-Confederate" alive today does combined. The man's ideals may have been flawed but he accepted his defeat like a gentleman and came to terms with it unlike modern Southerners who have to be a little bitch about it.
In US vernacular a yankee is someone from the north
DO IT AGAIN SHERMAN
>he didn't recover from something that happened 150 years ago
>he blames a guy who died over 100 years ago for him being poor
>And your ggggggrandfather was probably a potato farmer in Slovakia back then. I think I read that only about 20-30% of Americans have ancestors who lived here in the antebellum period.
Since ALL of Americans came from somewhere else, it's a totally pointless thing to brag about.
>muh ancestors migrated here from piss-poor Baden-Wurttemburg 20 years before you potato-starved papist scum, fuck off paddy
Pathetic.
depressing. thanks for the reminder
Nothing wrong with him
