It pointless to argue with someone who advocates ethnic cleansing as a legitimate means of warefare. These people were Americans.

You refuse to address the POINT. I take it your point is anything is "Right" if its not prohibited by law?

Not only are you putting words in my mouth, you're resorting to stupid words. What ethnic cleansing are you talking about? Sherman lived off the land, burned railroads and other property used to support the rebellion or belonging to those who supported the rebellion. Same thing Lee did in Pennsylvania in 1863.

My point is that war is hard, and civilians bear the brunt. Civil wars are harder and if the southern civilians suffered, well, then that's the way it goes. They had no problem with it when it happened to others.
