I’m not defending the man. I don’t know enough about the American Civil War. It was mentioned in Israel on about 1 page of a world history book. There was a picture of a Gatlin Gun.

I am merely commenting on the tactical efficacy of a scorched Earth strategy.
Both sides had access to rapid fire weapons, neither side used them.
