those VALIANT IL farm boys died well in a POOR cause. (for what its worth, i frequently decorate one of the union graves at Arlington National cemetery with flowers. the FACT that he died for the WRONG side does NOT diminish his personal bravery/honor or my pride in his service and/or that he was an AmerIndian warrior.)

Sherman was a hero who saved tens of thousands of Southern boys from death and dismemberment in a hopeless cause. Anyone who believes otherwise is spouting bottled piety.
