Random execution of civilians? A bald face lie endlessly repeated by neoconfederate inbreds who also believe that "the war had nothing to do with slavery."

The arson and destruction of the railroads was essential to end supply lines to the west/interior and cut off access to the port of Savannah. It was brutal, but necessary.

So I guess you support politically correct warfare. If thats the case, you wouldn't love the south (see Andersonville, Antietam, Fort Pillow).

The GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC, was triumphant in fact and in principle.

lol! Such an amazing display of erudition! In fact Sherman ordered his subordinate General Watkins to round up and randomly execute "secessionists" in retaliation for attacks by the Confederate Army. A technique which another army would use on another continent some 60 years later.

I don't blame you for trying to whitewash Sherman's behavior. He threw out the Christian precepts against total war and brought hell to the defenseless civilian population. In his defense he may well have been insane, and not responsible for his amoral depravity. Which cannot excuse those who used him as their instrument.
