One of the greatest heroes of the Civil Was was Robert E Lee. When he saw Northern soldiers under orders of General Pope [ a Northern general replacing McClellan] maintain Nazi tactics [to take rob and plunder and much worse] against the populations of the South, he sent a letter to the Secretary of War of the North objecting and signed "your humble servant." When the shoe was on the other foot- when Southern troops were in control of Pennsylvania, their conduct was exemplary under orders or Robert E Lee. They did not touch the property or belongings of anyone under pain of death.[See the actual order signed by Robert E Lee. ] People in Pennsylvania said they would rather quarter 40,000 troops of the South than 1,000 of the North --their own side! [That was a statement of a Pennsylvanian farmer to a northern reporter.]
