I am aware of most that.
You never really give up, do you.
The fact is that the customary practice of military establishments in the 1700’s and early 1800’s when dealing with “civilized” opponents was to destroy the enemies military force. Attacking civilian centers as a matter of policy was alien to their thinking.
Sherman and Sheridan formed a DELIBERATE policy of devasting civilian centers, burning civilian homes and destroying civilian centers in an effort to undermine and destroy civilian support for the Confederate Effort.
This was, for the times, revolutionary. It set the stage for the Boer War tactics of the British and later actions in WW1 and WW2 with land and aerial attacks on non-military targets.
How convenient for them that these rules didn't apply to "uncivilized" opponents, on whom apparently any atrocities could be committed. Which of course brings up the question of just who was civilized.
My point is that 17th, 18th and 19th century practice varied widely from theory. Most particularly when a civil war or suppression of a rebellion was involved. Our WBTS was pretty obviously the first, and was arguably the second.
I believe my original comment was that our Civil War had fewer atrocities committed against civilians than any other great civil war in history. I'm still waiting for someone (anyone?, anyone?, Buehler?) to come up with an example that would prove me wrong. I'm not saying that many bad things didn't happen, only that for a civil war, which is peculiarly prone to atrocities as opponents are viewed not only as enemies but also as traitors, there were few when compared to other great civil wars.
Outside of SC and to some extent GA Sherman burned few homes, though most barns and all public buildings were destroyed.
I have myself lived in the Valley of Virginia, and if Sheridan burned all the homes in the Valley, it is remarkable how many he missed. I've stayed in some of them.
