Please, please get it right. It's properly: Sherman [*SPIT*].
Thank you. Maybe one day some yankee family will return the silverware.

Your very telling quote.......
Sherman: "I am satisfied...that the problem of this war consists in the awful fact that the present class of men who rule the South must be killed outright rather than in the conquest of territory."
He very well knew that both before and after this comment, Confederate officials were seeking peace. Since February of 1861, the South had been seeking peaceful terms. This man was living in a fantasy world of "fight until they are exterminated" tactics.
Attila, Nebuchadnezzar, World War II Ustashi commander, General Dragutin Rumler had much more realistic motivations than Sherman.
