“Sherman had adopted the southern attitude toward slavery: it was part of the natural order. He had a slave in both Mobile and Charleston, and he strongly defended the institution in letters home, on one occasion using Fort Moultrie’s sorrow over the death of Braxton Bragg’s retainer to demonstrate ‘the strong attachment between master and slave.’” [John F. Marszalek, _Sherman: A Soldier’s Passion for Order,_ pp. 45-46]
You, Sir, are wrong.
