Sherman was not terroristic? His troops were not sadistic and were under tight control at all times?

I know about the guerilla war. I’m from MO and one of Quantrill’s raiders was captured at an indian camp on my property, according to local lore.

It was an ugly war. The union was preserved. Don’t try to take our heroes from us, and we won’t take yours.

Excuse me. I was unaware I said anything about Sherman. Take your remarks and direct them elsewhere.

You sound like one of those Code Pink whiners. Sherman was fighting a war, and his aims were military: the same tactics we used in WWII: Destory the factories/farms, to weaken the military.

Forrest founded the KKK, which had no military objective, only terrorism.

Equating Sherman and Forrest is like equating Churchill and bin Laden.
