oh, right ...just something I found .
Maybe others will take the time to read it .
They really didn't have to do all that burnin and looting
and pillaging . Memories are long . And the Yanks wonder why
many Southerners still hate um.

Wars are often inevitable , but to not do as Sherman did is to spare countless members of future generations the anguish and
despair that they feel at what was once done. There is a lot to be said for that. We played it just right in post war Japan and Germany , by doing exactly the opposite of the way Sherman behaved . His behavior was more akin to Stalin's I believe.
