War Crimes against Southern Citizens

https://www.amazon.com/War-Crimes-Against-Southern-Civilians/dp/158980466X

"This is the untold story of the Union's hard war against the folks of the Confederacy.  Styled the "Black Flag" campaign, it was agreed to by Lincoln in a council with his generals in 1864.

"Cisco reveals the shelling and burning of cities, systematic destruction of entire districts, mass arrests, forced expulsions, wholesale plundering of personal property, and even murder of civilians.  Carefully researched largely from primary sources, this examination also gives full attention to the suffering of Black victims of Federal brutality."

NOTE:  The protestant cities were wasted.  Papist cities were not molested.  In Richmond the only building left standing was the masonic lodge.  While everybody else in Richmond mourned, Judah Benjamin was unable to hide his jubilation.
