J. South,

If there were massacred at the Crater, that would indeed be significant. I 
don't suppose you consider it significant that a majority of Washington's 
troops in the early battles were black freemen and slaves? It makes you feel 
better to think it was mostly white farmers who fought for your freedom from 
England. But, I for one, want to hear the whole story, not the white-washed 
version for the namby-pambies.

PC aside, let the truth be told.

Anne
