An anniversary date.Again with this? Why?
The request was dead before it was issued. Until the CSA decided to treat all captured soldiers equally there could be no negotiation. They knew that.
Yeah Grant was very mean, no doubt about that. Refusing to even exchange prisoners, that's low.

By 1864, Grant had learn that getting only one unionist prisoner in exchange for a Confederate POW was a decidedly bad bargain for his side.
The saliant point is so does CSA Today yet he continues to broadcast Lost Cause fiction intended to villify Grant, Lincoln and the US soldier in general.
He knows full well had Davis simply been willing to treat captured USCT men as men instead of property the exchange would have reopened. He's also very adept at forgetting about the CS abuses & outright disregard for the parole system which is another reason the exchange cartel was shut down.

Why is it that Johan_Steel's posts so often have to include baseless accusations about other people that have no ground in reality? Making a statement that CSA Today's post is "Lost Cause fiction" when all he did was post a picture and a title that can not be disputed as anything other than fact. Talk about making broad, unfounded generalizations.

He knows he can get away with it.
How did ending the prisoner exchanges help the captured USCT or the white Union captives?

The rule of a good advocate is:
If you got facts, showcase the facts.
If you have good argument, showcase the argument.
If you have neither, you showcase Grant, the secret slaveholder minion of the Lincoln regime, that let tens of thousands of Yankee soldiers die in Southern prisons despite the best efforts of the kindly Jefferson Davis.
