“Sherman’s army, raped and killed every man woman and child they caught,”

Can you substantiate that comment?

Hanson excuses General Sherman's wholesale looting and destruction by stating:

"The Union army's embrace of the slaves, their angry shooting of the bloodhounds used to track escapees, their physical destruction of the plantation infrastructure, their psychological humiliation of the plantation class--all this helped to shatter both the material and psychological foundations of an oppressive aristocratic state."
