Sherman was a war criminal. He ordered troops to destroy non military targets. It's on thing to turn your head but it's another to actually order the destruction.
Scorched earth warfare had been dead a long time until he resurrected it.
Any general today acting like him in Iraq of Afgan would have been court martialled.

Sherman grasped something most humans struggle to comprehend. What is the quality of Mercy? Sherman was the equivalent of a Nazi Curtis LeMay. He had the knowledge and ability to destroy things, but he did so in a bad cause.
