One good point.

You state in closing, "I certainly wish that the Confederate Congress had held hearings on some of the Union atrocities that occurred during the war. That way, we would have as good documentation on them as we do on the Fort Pillow massacre. I submit, however, that it would have done the revisionists no good. They would still take as Gospel the Confederate hearings, and totally discount as "propaganda" the Union ones."

This is a good, valid, and reasoned point. However, I think that last sentence might should read this way, "They would still take as Gospel the Confederate hearings, and totally discount as 'propaganda' the Union ones...just as the anti-revisionists do today with findings of the Union hearings."
