Thousands of blue clad soldiers, around Atlanta GA, donned their knapsacks, shouldered their rifles and started marching East. Their objective, 250 miles away, was Savannah GA. General Sherman's March to the Sea was on.

Tangentially related...very tangentially is this film by Ross McElwee.
I can't recommend it highly enough. It has absolutely nothing to do with General Sherman or the Civil War.

Ross McElwee sets out to make a documentary about the lingering effects of General Sherman's march of destruction through the South during the Civil War, but is continually sidetracked by women who come and go in his life, his recurring dreams of nuclear holocaust, and Burt Reynolds.

Savannah has elected the vilest democrats possible now.

They will finish what Sherman started
