Thought Experiment: Would the Union Have Won the War if White Southern Unionists Had Been Confederates?

No problem I jus now googled " Confederate use of human shields at Charleston Harbor" and a Wikipedia article with sources about the " Immortal 600" came up. Secretary of War Stanton rightfully used Confederate human shields at Charleston Harbor because the Confederacy used Union POWs as human shields first.

Balderdash, the Federals fired over a hospital containing sick Federals. The Hospital was clearly marked with a hospital flag. The Yankees accused the Confederates of keeping the sick prisoners in their line of fire. Where else pray tell did the Yankee expect sick prisoners to be held. What were they doing firing at a hospital anyway?

Could you provide a source for your assertion?
