I read 'inhabitants of the country that go to the relief of the wounded'. How did Sherman violate that?
Well if you're killing and raping innocents (as Sherman did) what exactly is going to happen to the wounded? They're going to heal all by themselves? Who in their right mind would go near a wounded man under threat from an invasion force? And exactly how many of these citizens knew of these rules to claim them? I'm quite sure Sherman did, he just didn't care
