RE: Lincoln's non pardon
When Sherman and Sheridan burned a house, they usually allowed the occupants to take what they could and get out of the home.
Sherman and Sheridan's purpose was to destroy property that could be used to aid the enemy. Their purpose was not to kill civilians. Not so with some of these others. (Especially the New York greek fire bombings) Their purpose was to kill indiscriminately and cause terror, to hopefully cause troops to be withdrawn from the battlefield to protect the home front, and weaken morale.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
