re: #35 Dark_Falcon

True, but what of it? Should Grant and Sherman have kept watching their men die while letting the southerns who supplied the Confederate Army with food, weapons and uniforms continue to do so? The south would not submit to gentle methods and so more brutal ones had to be applied.

I’m just observing history…but I will say, again, what happened in SC was indefensible…but then again I’ve always felt that the Philippines should have been bypassed back then
