Sherman won two great wars, acting per his own initiative. His words are far bloodier than his actions. AWESOME FEAR was his objective by the one’s you quoted.

In reality Sherman fought war in a way that minimized loss of life, combined small scale violence that made the point that violence would be had with large scale yet bloodless campaigns that attacked the cultural heart of a people.

Yeah, you know, it is much easier to terrorize regular people than fight the opposing army.

Oh boy. Watch out. Dealing in reality when it comes to Cump is a good way for the Neoconfed fantasy malcontents to set a fatwa against ya!
