Lincoln the Murderous Tyrant
The North has spent over 150 years white washing one of the worst tyrants in world history into some kind of saint of brotherly love. However, facts remain and more and more of the truth, even if late in coming, is making its way to the spotlight.
In 1864, in a bid to finally break the will of the South, Lincoln and his top commanders agreed on the "Black Flag" campaign. In this official permission was given to wage unlimited war against civilians, including women and children, as well as any slaves, former slaves or free blacks. This is not to say the northern armies were not already viscous, especially when led by northern puritans like Sherman who saw this as some holy crusade, but now this was official policy from the president himself.
