Gen. Sheredan's boast about the Shenandoah valley was that a crow flying over it would need to carry its own rations!

By the end of the war, Southern soldiers themselves were starving. They had very little to feed POW's.

I suspect that if every officer who was ever responsible for war crimes was tried in court, the ranks would be thinned considerably in all armies that have fought a war.
