Yourself included, Walt. The way you downplay and ignore the rampant war crimes committed by Sherman's men is apalling. You are a poor man's holocaust denier, Walt.

As I recall, you identified @ 8 rebels who were ordered executed up in Tennessee, an area that Sherman nominally commanded. You have not been able to identify a ---single-- civilian murdered by Sherman's men who particpated in the march from Atlanta to the sea.
The record shows a small number of rapes 6-7, I believe. By any measure, Sherman's men were well behaved. This is especially true when you consider that several dozen of HIS men were murdered in cold blood by CSA forces during the march. To preclude your normal weasel quoting out of context tactics, I here mean only soldiers actually under the command of Sherman on the march from Atlanta to Savannah, Columbia and Charelston and on into North Carolina.
