George S. Burkhardt

4.9/5 (12464 ratings)

Description:This provocative study proves the existence of a de facto Confederate policy of giving no quarter to captured black combatants during the Civil WarOCokilling them instead of treating them as prisoners of war. Rather than looking at the massacres as a series of discrete and random events, this work examines each as part of a ruthless but standard practice. Author George S. Burkhardt details a fascinating case that the Confederates followed a consistent pattern of murder against the black soldiers who served in Northern armies after LincolnOCOs 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. He shows subsequent retaliation by black soldiers and further escalation by the Confederates, including the execution of some captured white Federal soldiers, those proscribed as cavalry raiders, foragers, or house-burners, and even some captured in traditional battles.aa Further disproving the notion of Confederates as victims who were merely trying to defend their homes, Burkhardt explores the motivations behind the soldiersOCO actions and shows the ConfederatesOCO rage at the sight of former slavesOCostill considered property, not menOCofighting them as equals on the battlefield. BurkhardtOCOs narrative approach recovers important dimensions of the war that until now have not been fully explored by historians, effectively describing the systemic pattern that pushed the conflict toward a black flag, take-no-prisoners struggle.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
