That quote gets attributed to several folks, but I think it was Gen. Phil Sheridan (one hell of a calvary officer, even if he was a yankee)who said it during Reconstruction.

----

Sherman was a smart man.

He knew renting out Texas would make him much more money than renting out Hell.

He knew Texas was bigger than Hell and would bring a huge profit.

He knew Texas was hotter than Hell and that many fellow yankees were tired of freezing their butts off up north.

Sherman must have been a greedy man to live in Hell and rent out Texas.

We Texans live in Texas because we love it.
Sherman can stay in Hell.
