The term 'carpetbagger' would not have been invented if the determined slaveocracy did not trigger the Civil War but since they did great American generals such as Sherman were ordered to crush the rebellion - and they did it very effectively, deserving of honour, not viscous condemnation from loutish, rabble-rousing malcontents. There's enough of that type of trash being thrown at America by the horde of enemies our nation confronts today.
Sherman will always be a war criminal, no matter how much he is sugarcoated.
