An Offer of Clemency to Wirz for Implication of CSA President Jefferson Davis

"Interestingly, in the evening before his execution, Wirz was allegedly visited by unknown Government officials who offered him an opportunity for freedom if he testified to incriminate Davis in the charges for Andersonville, but he rejected their offer.

Wirz's Old Capitol Prison cell neighbor, Major R. B. Winder, M.D., reportedly stated Wirz told him that three distinguished-looking men (who Winder did observe) visited Wirz's cell the night before his execution with an offer of freedom, if he testified against Davis, to which Wirz rejected, saying that he did not know Davis personally, officially or socially."

To this day, one must go to the South, out West or to an area bordering Canada to hear American Indians speaking their native languages. Yankees didn't allow it.

In the case of the South, live & let live, so long as one is respectful of his fellows, is the unwritten law of the land.

If one goes to a Natchez Indian market in Mississippi, today you will see something that looks like a frontier reenactment, but it's just American Indians who were allowed to stay who they were by the "evil, racist Southerners." Indians on Reserves bordering Canada were able to find refuge from the Union Army post war, there as the British did not share the Yankee zeal for their eradication. (source)

In "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee" author, historian, Dee Brown credits the Union Army with the wanton destruction of American Indians who were no longer warring nor posing any threat. Once you've raised a vast army, you have to give it things to do, he reasons. After the Union had battered the South, the US Federal Government turned it westward onto the Indians. (resource)
