re: #147 Backwoods_Sleuth

“War” is about breaking things and killing people.

If someone doesn’t what things broken and people killed, then they ought not go to war.

Sherman (well, his army) was ruthless and we can judge him/them as such. Yet I look on it as the expected result of what was started. It was not possible for the two cultures (of slaveholding/secessionism and emancipation/union-ism) to coexist any more.
