Couple of things.
did I just understand what you typed correctly. You are in favor of the government controlling our lives? And you think general Sherman was heroic  or even a good man
The Civil War was  another war  fought  over greed and money. Brother versus brother. Horrible
My great grandfather fought for the state of Georgia in the Civil War after he resigned from West Point.
I also had relatives from the state of New York that fought for the union in the Civil War. Both sides agreed that what Sherman did was atrocious
everybody from Robert E Lee to Ulysses Grant Abraham Lincoln
General Sherman was a fvcking  piece of shit
i’m assuming you are from the north if your ancestors supposedly marched with Sherman which actually meant burning raping and pillaging towns in the state of Georgia from Atlanta to  savannah  . Burning towns to the ground and leaving women and children starving
That bastard should have been hung.
His troops actually destroyed a town that my family was living in with only women and children in it. You say that name down here you’re probably going to get your ass kicked even today
Nothing heroic  about what that bastard did
any thoughts on this
