By the way, it's not hard for me to see who was at fault. The North was knowingly shelling non-combatants - period. The South graciously let Union prisoners into the homes of NON-combatants, who, by the law of land warfare at that time, should have been allowed to leave BEFORE the bombardment. When a force has no respect for rules and regulations, anarchy generally arises to take its place. I wonder why this particular incident is not taught in public shcools?
