77. he's missing one thing: terrorism

he talks about how bad Confederate soldiers are for a lot of reasons, but never gets around to mentioning any terrorism that they do.

There was terrorism before the war, in Kansas, and after Reconstruction there was a lot of terrorism against free blacks. But during the war as far as I know the Confederacy mostly fought a war. They certainly weren't defined by terrorism, so what's the point of calling them terrorists?

This is a pretty bad article, imo. I think he's just stirring up shit or something.
