Oh please. Your Saint Shermy did no such thing.
If they lived in the South his rabble targeted them.
had no problem sending other Southerners to their death while they increased their wealth at home.
You don't really want to go there, do you?
To take the war to those people for a change was a just thing.
So you do advocate targeting women and children in America's current wars.
No he didn't, he targeted secessionist thugs. Rustbucket in post #269 quoted Sherman as ordering General Watkins:
"Can you not send over to Fairmount and Adairsville, burn 10 or 12 houses of known secessionists, kill a few at random and let them know it will be repeated every time a train is fired upon from Resaca to Kingston."
I'm not as sure about Southern women, but children have too much sense to be secessionists. Therefore, Sherman was not targeting children though I wouldn't doubt some secessionists hid behind children so their rabble rousing and money making could go on unhindered by distress or danger.
