You should use the apologist's "Sherman didn't want too, but had too for the war effort" excuse. Your revisionist skills need work in order to make one statement not conflict with the other and jibe with the fact that what Sherman destroyed was far than a few miscellaneous private homes.

I don't quite understand your points, from various postings, about my supposed inconsistencies, but that's okay. Let's drop this debate here, so we can both get out and enjoy this beautiful day.
