I know the pro-Union mayor of Atlanta, when asking Sherman about not burning the city, asked for a delay or mercy because of pregnant women who couldn’t flee, and Sherman didn’t care.
That’s a far cry from rape though.
I ageee that whay Sherman (and that union general inthe shenandiah valley) did would be considered war crimes today. For all that matter US Grants indiscimnate shelling of Vicksburg would be called a war crime.
And yes, there was likely rape. It’s all too common among conquering armies.
BUT none of that ia evidemce that Sherman so ordered.
And btw, Lew Rockwell????
