The change that Lincoln needed occurred on September 2, 1864, when Union forces captured Atlanta. General Sherman had arrived in Georgia, where he utilized what he and General Ulysses S. Grant believed was one of the only ways to end the Civil War. They felt it would take strategic psychological and economic warfare to break the Confederacy once and for all. Sherman ordered his troops to burn the crops, kill livestock, consume supplies, and destroy civilian property along their path. This was called the “scorched earth principle.” After destroying Atlanta, the Union troops began the infamous “Sherman’s march to the sea” and headed to the port of Savannah, Georgia.

No wonder the communist piece of crap Obama was watching the movie “Lincoln”.

did you all see this , the marxist Obama dictator is making it the mission of its term to take away our ability to own guns, our right to defend ourselves and to freedom and ownership, our individual rights.

President Obama on Sunday said he would make gun control a priority in his new term, pledging to put his “full weight” behind passing new restrictions on firearms in 2013.
