So you would want Sherman to destroy even more of our country?
And would you want Sherman to destroy Lexington, Concord and Boston?
There were slaves living in all those towns before slavery was outlawed. Most likely there were slave owners up in Vermont too.
If you go to the old cemeteries in that area you’d find the graves of slaves. Some fought in the Revolutionary War. One was shot on the first days of the war in Lexington. He fought with the militia and was one of ten men wounded on April 19th.
Northerners were slave owners. Should Sherman have marched from Concord to Bunker Hill and destroyed it all?
It’s a bullshit argument.
The South Seceded. It was in revolt. You got your asses kicked. The Union won. You lost. Lee took up arms against the flag he swore before God to defend.
He was a good general. For the enemy of the United States. He lost.
Those are the facts. Honor him if you will.
But do not cloud the facts with your face saving hero worship.
