We don’t take too kindly to that picture here in Georgia. I’d have sooner seen his horse stumble in a gopher hole and him have broken his neck during the fall....those ‘rebels’ weren’t foreigners.

To: Gaffer; JoeSixPack
"Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster. If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking. This war differs from other wars, in this particular. We are not fighting armies but a hostile people, and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war. My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom."

- William T. Sherman

Was he referring to the American Southerners, here? I thought it might have been the Native Americans.
