And forgive my confusions about the destruction of steel mills rather than warehouses and railroad infrastructure.
The point is that the Confederates wrecked military and infrastructure targets, not farms, villages and towns in their path as Sherman did. That even included the Early raid on Chambersburg in 1864 as the only political target which Early's cavalry went out of their way to destroy was the home of prominent abolitionist newspaper editor. Quite the contrast to Sherman's army who went after everything, including the homes of widows and orphans.
That being said, my original comments were fully supportive of union monuments on battlefields in the south as I pointed our that there were no shortage of confederate monuments on this side of the Mason-Dixon line.
In 1864, Early first demanded the city of Chambersburg hand over $500,000.
In today's values, depending on how you look at it, that is anywhere from $100 million to $1 billion.
When the city refused, Early burned it down.
So please explain: in what way was Early's behavior in August 1864 different from, or superior to, that of WT Sherman a few months later?
