Description
Ideological cleansing. Military and paramilitary units committing mass murder. Bodies left unburied. Ethnic and racial conflict. Prisoners executed without trial. Civilian dwellings destroyed for political purposes. Mass deportations. Civilian informers touching off military raids. Rape. Torture. Looting. Is the scene of these crimes East Timor-1999? Kosovo-1998? Bosnia-1995? Viet Nam-1973? No, this was Middle Tennessee, 1863-1865. The same scenes were being enacted in all those parts of the South that were under Union military occupation during the years of the Civil War.
