Your criticisms of Southern actions are valid. Both sides bombed cities - valid if they resisted.

Sherman was spotty when it came to dealing with murder of civilians.

What makes him a war criminal was his waging war against unresisting civilians. He stole anything of value and burned everything else, houses, stock, crops, barns - everything. This was a slow death sentence to hundreds of families.

His conduct, especially at that time and in that war, was outrageous and criminal. Was he the only bad actor? No.

yes the guy was neck deep in wartime, so context needs to be taken into account.
