Thank you for doing that bit of research. I simply haven't had the time.I grow weary of these arguments that crop up from time to time. There are none so blind that can not see, Above you showed dead women and children as the reason an officer pleaded for the stop to a bombardment. Then someone asked where were the murders?

Southern resentment of the North does to this day exist. Just as Northern satisfaction in our humiliation still does. The scar that war left on this country will never heal.

So as long as John Bell Hood decided to hide behind the skirts of women and the cribs of children, Sherman was not allowed to shoot back at him? That's BS and you damn well know it.

You're sounding like the Islamonazis who think they can shoot from a Mosque as much as they want, but no one should violate their sanctuary by returning fire.

If Hood felt the City of Atlanta was worth fighting for, he should have done what Sherman did after he took it --- send the civilians away.
