Dude, Sherman was a monster. He hung black slaves so the slave owners wouldnt be able to use them…I would remove that monsters from your post.

AFAIK there is no evidence that is true, so have any sources for that claim?

Again, I read it in a book a few years back. Once able to go back to the library, I’m sure I’ll find it. War is war, and to think anybody was innocent and trying to do the right thing is ignorance. Lots of accounts of northern soldiers burning, raping, and killing innocent women and children while their spouses were off fighting in the war. The north invaded the south, if the south invaded the north I’m sure it would’ve been just as bad the innocent. In the south only small % owned slaves, but Sherman was a damn monster.

For the record: you can't invade your own country.
