I would think more would be inclined to ascribe the war criminal appellation to General Grant than General Sherman.

Why stop there... heck, Sheridan burned down just about every farm in Virginia and routinely made war on women, children, orphans, and widow’s... then... After the war went out West with Sherman and waged war in a similar fashion on the Native Americans and their food supply (bison)!
War IS Hell and it IS man made. And history IS written by the victors.
What an ugly period of history... globally for that matter.
