Say what you want about Sherman, the man made a might fine tank.

[nickcarraway]

Not sure if this fits in with your lists.

[Vaquero]

Sherman is on the left

[Midwesterner53]

He was also living in Louisiana when the war broke out, apparently slavery all around did not seem to bother him.

[Michael.SF.]

What Sherman did was a war crime.

Sherman probably had to hide out there because a lot of Rebs would want to whack him for those hideous deeds after the surrender when Lincoln orderd him to destroy the defensless south so it couldn't rise up again.

then the FED's got bored and went and took care of "the Indian Problem" in a similar way

[Opinionated Blowhard]

One amazing thing about Sherman in Monterey is the story of his ship sinking twice in the same day as he arrived. Once coming into port in San Francisco and a second boat he took to try to save survivors.

Thanks for this. Having grown up in the Monterey bay area I’d never heard this. I might go buy it before it’s razed.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

That’s enough reason to pay every black person in CA $100 million.

[Brilliant]

It’s sad when they have to refer to him as “a famous civil war general”. History is not their strong suit.

[LegendHasIt]

Thank goodness it was a Union General.

Were it a Confederate, The place would be torn down within the next couple of days.

Sherman was also the first Superintendent of the Louisiana State Seminary of Learning and Military Academy in 1859. The school was the precursor of LSU.
