Sherman did right. He didn’t want to kill anymore Southerners, of which he was quite fond of, so he pushed for destroying property, wealth, and the ability to manufacture and feed, and to demoralized, and de enthuse the civilian Southern population, especially coastal Southern plantations that were key to popular and economic support for the Southern war effort. No longer would they read comfortably about distant and thrilling battlefield events. With Sherman, they would experience it.

You don’t know your history, or basic warfare.

Yeah I know my history. Compare Lee's incursion into Md. and Pa. versus Sherman's march through Georgia and get back with me sonny.
