Yes, of course. It's all right to burn and loot so long as the Confederate army was the one doing the burning and looting, is that it?

You know as well as I that Sherman's "march-to-the-sea" was an irrational and viscious punishment inflicted upon the non-combatants simply to teach them a lesson; it earned him and the north an enduring enmity which may never fully go away.
