There are a lot of Southerners on Free Republic. You’re not likelly to win much support for a thread celebrating Sherman’s genius.

Great general.

Sherman was obsessed with separating bellicose enemy rhetoric from facts on the ground. He believed that unless humiliation was a part of defeat, a tribal society of ranked hierarchies would always concoct myths to explain away failure.Certainly applicable today too.

Ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tsu said that the real target of the general is not the enemy’s army. The real target is to destroy the enemy’s willingness to fight you.

What continues to amaze me even as I enter my late 60s is the lack of knowledge supposed 'in the know' media & government folks have on the Civil War. They also have the same the same IQ for the rest of history, to press the point--
Since we have unionized the American school system, there are no more 'teachers,' only 'educators.' The average student nowadays know less and less history with each passing year and what they are actually taught in the classroom from Kindergarten to Grad School is not actual history but rather different shades of leftest opinion squeezed more and more by the changing political correctness of the unions' patron, the Democrat Party.
As we see happening in Ferguson, it ain't what actually happened that matters... 
it is how much loot there is and how it can fill the coffers of the race baiting Democrat Party.

Sherman isn’t hated in the South for “humiliating” the plantation class. He’s hated for deeds such as burning down Columbia, SC.

Not really worth posting. Or reading. Or writing.
First because of all the animosity that get stirred up.
Second, because the comparison is sketchy and not very clear or very close.

William Tecumseh Sherman 150 years ago took Atlanta..

He borrowed just long enough for the Confederates to destroy it.
