more uncivilized warfare?
RETRIBUTION.
HOW ARE YOU MR. BEAUREGARD?
“A villainous compound! It’s against the cause of Humanity, and the laws of Civilized Warfare!!”
You can read a sarcastic editorial about General Beauregard’s protest against General Quincy Gillmore’s use of Greek Fire during the bombardment of Charleston in the September 12, 1863 issue of Harper’s Weekly published at Son of the South. If Butler was a beast in New Orleans, Gillmore is a monster for disturbing the Southern aristocracy.
The cartoon is from the same issue.
