Don’t kill your darlings. Love and nurture your darlings. Write for your darlings. Recognize when one of them may not be right for the story and gently remove them, but for the most part: fucking INDULGE your darlings

While the condemnation of Confederate war crimes was important, it is crucial to note that the U.S. not only did not retaliate (as threatened) against Confederate officers, but refused even to prosecute those guilty of these crimes in the aftermath of the war.
After learning that captured Black soldiers "have been cruelly murdered by your authorities, & others sold into slavery," U.S. Major General David Hunter wrote to Confederate President Jefferson Davis to condemn "every outrage of this kind against the laws of war and humanity."
