As far as I am concerned, you are totally discredited. Any chance you'll retract the statement you made but couldn't support -- that Sherman ordered the random murder of civilians?

You calling another person "discredited" in a WBTS debate is about like Jesse Jackson giving a sermon on the sin of adultery.

No, as that statement has been thoroughly supported.
Headquarters, Military Div. of the Miss, Rome Ga. Oct. 29th, 1864
Brigadier General Watkins, Calhoun, Ga.:
Can you not send over to Fairmount and Adairsville, burn ten or twelve houses of known Secessionists, kill a few at random, and let them know that it will be repeated every time a train is fired upon from Resaca to Kingston.
W. T. Sherman
Major General Commanding
That sure sounds "Sherman ordered the random murder of civilians" to me!
NO PERSON of HONOR will retract the TRUTH. sherman ORDERED war crimes to be committed against the civilian population of the southland, crimes for which he today would have faced death by hanging or a firing squad. that is TRUE and BEYOND dispute!
sherman was NO WORSE than many of the other "filth that came down from the north" OR worse than the war criminals who tortured, starved, abused, denied medical attention to and MURDERED many THOUSANDS of our CSA POWs in cold blood.
for TRUTH & dixie LIBERTY,sw
