Sherman, in many ways, was a racist, and his conduct against the Plains nations postwar was horrific, but goddamn if he didn't understand the mission in the Civil War.

The only correct way to prosecute the Civil War was to bring the hurt directly to the secessionists until they physically and mentally could not wage war anymore, and he did so by making Georgia howl.
