…most people feel that he should’ve used his “talents” on the battlefield and not on the homes and farms of the southern civilains.



Sherman (rightfully) believed that the homes and crops of civilians were just as much of a legitimate target as any he would face on the “batllefield.”

He punished the cradle of treason harshly and decisively, and his quote “those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out.” says it all.

Sherman served brilliantly. A brilliant man, a brilliant military strategist, a winner, a true American hero.

Those who feel otherwise are still fighting the Civil War.
