Texas women are and have been a priceless asset to the nation just like Massachusetts women, Alaskan women, North Dakota women and all the women of our great Union.
Instead of splitting hairs over the wording of your sentence, I'll simply say your kind sentiments are appreciated:)
Sherman did nothing a Confederate general wouldn’t have done to the opposing home front had doing so been in their interest to win.
According to the memoir of C.O. Bates, he attended an evening lecture in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, given by a son of General Sherman, forty six years after the General's dirty deeds. It appears that General Sherman's son believed justification was necessary for the infamous "march to the sea." The justification offered at that lecture? Hood was to the north and the sea was to the south so his father was trapped. LOL!!! Revisionism at it's finest. Please see page 3, paragraph 3, @ the link below.
Also on page 3, his memories of farmers being hung and his grandfather's near hanging. Sounds like more "bad guys" were in the Union ranks. Please see page 3, paragraph 4.
Happy Labor Day to you, also:)
