Can you offer any support for your bizarre allegatuon that Sherman encouraged American sildiers to rape women and children?

[Tallguy]

“Sherman encourage the troops to openly rape women and children and burn everything to the ground on his March to the sea.”

He did not do any of that.

How about another March Through Georgia?

BFD: Gen Curtis Lemay admitted his firebombing of Tokyo & other Japanese cities & civilian areas was most certainly a crime. He personally ordered the killing of hundreds of thousands of the civilian enemy.

The difference between war criminal & hero is winning the war!

Better question is, since Jack Ruby is long gone:
“Who might dispatch her?”

[Yorlik803]

And those scum like Quantrell and Bloody Bill Anderson are heros in your book I bet. Sherman is considered the first modern general. He believed in total war. A hard War is what he called it. But I have never heard anything about him ordering the rape of women and Children. Sherman was very much sympathetic with the South. T

The 117th Congress is the most corrupt Congress in the history of the United States of America.

Liar, that is complete Bull Sh*t.

Of far more importance is Sheman’s willfull choice not to destroy the Augusta Gunpowder Woks.

Three times Sherman made that mistake in his campaign. During which the Augusta Works shipped over 500,000 pounds of gunpowder. At the peak, they made 58,000 cartridges a day.

Sherman’s choices lengthened the Civil War and resulted in the deaths and maiming of untold numbers of men on both sides as surely as it extended the suffering of civilians.
