That may very well be true! I belong to a club that was founded by Sherman along with others. He loved theater, lol. I think we Americans look down on him because he burned America. If he had burned down Europe, we’d all be in his pocket. But he was given the enemy he was given. What a sad war.
He didn’t burn ‘America’.
He burned a little part of it, and fortunately America survived the whole thing - because the Union had a great President during that conflict.
A story from my South Carolina ancestors, as told to me by my Grandmother (can’t know if it’s true or not, but here it is):
The Yankees came to the front door of the Plantation house.
My ancestress answered the door, and told them:
“People like you come to my Back Door.”
