um, no. That’s the myth, but it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

Rather than me being longwinded, see this site which discusses the myth. The short version is the only time the soldiers were directed to plunder was while the army was in South Carolina. Not Georgia, not North Carolina, just South Carolina.

It was kind of a lame analogy, perhaps a better one is Mitt Romney’s tax rate. why should he not take advantage of existing laws to the full extent?
