Look upon the ugly face of William Tecumseh Sherman
Sherman was a mass murderer of innocents, his own fellow Americans, a mass murderer of innocent women and children..when there was no need- except to sate the blood thirstiness of a psychopathic killer.
Sherman was a psychopath who mass murdered his own fellow Americans, raped, looted and destroyed all in his bloody march to the sea- including innocent animals by the thousands and thousands.
He should have been hung for crimes against humanity. Ugly sob even looks deranged.
He's roasting in Hell for his heinous crimes.

"Sherman was a mass murderer of innocents, his own fellow Americans, a mass murderer of innocent women and children..when there was no need- except to sate the blood thirstiness of a psychopathic killer." Those are outright lies, suggesting a certain psychopathology in people who continue to tell them, and tell them -- perhaps under guidance from Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals?
The truth of this matter is that Sherman's "March to the Sea" in November-December, 1864 was no more destructive than Confederate General Jubal Early's earlier complete burning of Chambersburg in July, 1864.
Indeed, whenever Confederate forces operated outside the Confederacy, they left trails of destruction while sending home all the "contraband" they could grab.
Point is: by war's end there was little sympathy for civilians on either side.
As for alleged mass murders, rapes & kidnaps, there's just no real evidence of it, certainly none condoned by military authorities -- on either side.
Finally, as DoodleDawg & others have pointed out: if destruction of enemy civilian property is a "war crime", then there were no innocent parties in World War Two, since all of them did it to the greatest extent they could.
Of course, Sherman's real "crime" was to help convince Confederates that their war was not a lark, and it was time for them to stop fighting.
