I find it interesting how many Southerners see Sherman as a terrorist and Quantrill as a hero.

To each their own. Quantrill got what he deserved...and so did Sherman.

Well, quite the contrary in my case. Quantrill was a cold-blooded killer. But those he fought against in Kansas were absolutely NO BETTER. Sherman had no such comparison. What he did was despicable.
