WHAT IS HER POINT? 

"Trying to brave it out. They have plenty, yet let our men freeze and starve in their prisons. Would you be willing to be as wicked as they are? A thousand times, no! But we must feed our Army first - if we can do so much as that. Our captives need not starve if Lincoln would consent to exchange prisoner; but men are nothing to the United States - things to throw away. If they send our men back they strengthen our army, and so again their policy is to keep everybody and everything here in order to starve us out. That, too, is what Sherman's destruction means - to starve us out."
