What you've claimed is not on this website. That's not a big surprise; you've been caught lying before.
Where can I confirm this order you claim Sherman gave to kill civilians?
I like the way this Bob Redmond characterizes the battle of Franklin, saying the AoT was "roughly handled."
In "Shrouds of Glory", the author suggests that the worst hour of the whole war in terms of bloodletting happened that day.
Walt
To the contrary. It's there plain as day: "Sept. 64 Forrest goes back to Tennessee, Hood threatens Sherman's railroad connection to Chattanooga, Sherman sends Thomas to deal with Forrest, and Sherman pursues Hood to no avail."
and
"26 Oct. 64 Sherman gives up trying to catch Hood, divides his army, takes the better part of it (incl. the 14th corps) for himself, and leaves the rest to Thomas."
Once again you are willfully avoiding the facts and fibbing about it when caught.
That's not a big surprise; you've been caught lying before.
The only liar here is you, Walt, as you have just demonstrated it you typical fashion.
Where can I confirm this order you claim Sherman gave to kill civilians?
Are you blind Walt or just stupid? If you are referring to the ones conducted during Milroy's Sherman-sanctioned reign of terrot, I've alread told you no less than three times.
