Are you sure you're joking. One of my father in law's first cousins moved to Georgia, following the death of his first wife. (FiL had no brothers, and only those two first cousins, who lived on a nearby farm). After my father-in-laws funeral, my wife mentioned that she lived in Sherman, and the cousin's wife really bristled up, until we assured her it was not *That* Sherman that a North Texas town was named after. Perish the Thought! Sherman Texas still has the once obligatory confederate soldier statue on the (old) Courthouse square. He's on the Northeast corner, looking to the Northeast, because that's the direction the DamnYankees once came from, and they might come again. :) Many Texas county seats still have such a statue.
I'm sure Georgians are a bit more sensitive about *that* Sherman.
(FWIW, Sherman Texas was named after General Sidney Sherman, a hero of the Texas Revolution.)
General Sidney Sherman
General William Tecumseh Sherman.
BTW, in searching for that picture of W.T. Sherman, I found a tidbit of information which I had not known before. Sherman and Lt. Ord were sent to help run California once it was acquired as a result of the Mexican war. They arrived at Yerba Buena, two days before it's name was changed to San Francisco.
Yerba Buena translates as "Good Grass", and I can't imagine a better name for the place it has become.
