Seems a few people were hung, homes were burned, seems a general sherman had a scorched earth policy. Seems he was with the north, not the south, seems he was ruthless.

I do not think a single rebel citizen was hanged by federal authorities for disloyal activities.

Sherman was certainly for a hard war. The surrender terms he offered to General Johnston were so generous Johnston could hardly believe them.

Forty loyal Texans and 22 loyal North Carolinians were hanged simply for being loyal to the Union NOT ONE rebel was hanged for the same offense. In fact, the federal government in 1862 allowed a general amnesty for those arrested in 1861.

Why did he burn down our farm when my family, all doctors, were treating his injured men?

Speaking with forked tongue again, Walt? What about Beast Butler and the guy he hanged for taking down a US flag? William Mumford was his name.
