Most of Shermans fame was made by waging warfare on an unarmed and defenseless civilian population.
Let me guess, you're one of those types that thinks we shouldn't have dropped atomic bombs on Japan and should have invaded instead, since we were "waging warfare on an unarmed and defenseless civilian population."

There were plenty of military targets in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Let me guess, you're one of those types that equates the War of Southern Independence to Naziism and Japanese Imperialism. Placing Southerner in your pathetic mind on par with those peoples, really?

Of course Hood, heading north away from Atlanta was threatening to make war on non-combatants too. Sherman was more effective. If Hood and Wheeler wanted Sherman to fight, they could have arranged it. Instead Wheeler put mines in the roads where non-combatants could trip them.
