Thirteen Days of Destruction

Sheridan commenced a dramatic war on the countryside on September 26,1864 that would last for thirteen days. The destruction would begin in Staunton and head down the Valley, northward to Strasburg, covering a length of 70 miles and a width of 30 miles. This destruction infamously became known for generations simply as "The Burning." Sheridan ordered his men to move fast, destroy everything that could be useful to the enemy, then move on quickly to new targets. He also instructed them to spare houses, empty barns, property of widows, single women, orphans and to refrain from looting. Col. James H. Kidd of Custer's brigade described the scenes as they set fire to a mill in Port Republic:

"What I saw there is burned into my memory. The anguish pictured in their faces would have melted any heart not seared by the horrors and 'necessities' of war. It was too much for me and at the first moment that duty would permit I hurried from the scene."

这是林肯总统亲自签署的命令,对通敌者一律就地处决,战争时期谁有时间证明是孤寡老人?

同时代满清皇帝签署的命令,是南京屠城,五马分尸反贼。太平天国是见到读书人就杀死。屠城无数。历史是进步的,同时代才能对比。

不仅要分时间,也要分地域。时空上的张冠李戴都是问题。
