Its ok, your romantic Southern fantasy is safe with me. I will grant you that by "legal" definition of a "War Crime", Sherman's actions could be interpreted as such.

Despite myth, Sherman's army was quite the respecter of persons, if not property. There were less than half a dozen rapes among Sherman's 60,000 men and no, none, nada, zilch, murders of civilians.

On the other hand, over fifty of Sherman's men were lynched by CSA forces.

That was'nt a war crime, it was "Southron Honor".

YEAH, RIGHT! there were NO reported murders and few REPORTED rapes, committed against civilians.

Sherman and the rest of the damnyankee army commanders NEVER CARED what their soldiers did in the southland, as they, like some on this forum, were UNCONCERNED about Crimes Against Peace & Crimes Against Humanity.

RAPE, plundering,looting & pilageing ware considered "just part of being a soldier", by the bluebellies.
