I apologize to anyone offended by what may have seemed that I was being one sided on the evils of the North compared to the South. That was not my intentions. I copied and pasted what was sent to me and did not really look at what the person sent.

Bette Excuse me...but I fail to understand the NEED for Your apology...for the content's point of view for ... The Reality of the War and the Ending results...has nothing to do with you personally, you were presenting a website offering information. If you look at the Documented facts of the period...they are/should be no more Offensive to Americans/readers than the treatment of Native Americans BY Americans..and the accummalative documentations regarding the treatment of Men...Women and Children.... The TRUTH is Rarely popular...and the Truth is rarely believed or Wanted...it's easier to do the 'Cover-up' method...in hopes the Truth is avoided and remains unknown...so that the Perpetrators of the 'Ugliness' can escape culpability..... If anyone found the material offensive...and said anything unkind to you about it...I would wonder Why....and Why the need to make You feel unnessarily apologetic.... I appreciate the link...I found it to be most informative...some I was aware of ...most I found appalling...yet not surprised.
