They keep blacks on the hook of government handouts for their votes instead of bales of cotton for the mills of England. Demand the import of cultures alien to our country's founding principles and voting rights for non-citizens. Propagate insane ideas contrary to basic human biology and millennia of universally accepted behavior. And to help accomplish their goals have destroyed an education system that was once the envy of the world.
Sherman lived and worked in the South for many years before the war. So even if one disagrees with everything he wrote you can't say he didn't know his enemy first hand. He was also stationed as an Army officer in California. And if any place needs the kind of cleansing a Sherman would provide today, it's there.
Sherman was a war criminal. Period.
so it’s interesting.....Sherman has real clarity when it comes to the Indians as well.
The US’ arrangement with the numerous Indian tribes/nations also has significant complications/nuances/difficulties....and it is not unlike the legal/conceptual difficulties of reconsttruction of a federal system after civil war. It essentially is defining something as a “nation” and also a a “conquered state” while (pretending) to respect the conquereds culture and tradition....also has the problem in many cases of confining a people group that were nomadic to a geographic area.
Lots of legal difficulties here.
And of course the US was not great in keeping all of the treaties that it agreed to.
Very difficult stuff.
Not sure that Sherman’s “clarity” is right....But....he at least had real clarity. Not a lot of gray in his views.
i find it impossible to believe that anyone on this site would post such ignorant comments in support of a corrupt and cruel statement of principles. Let me assure you that your use of the Democratic party vs. the Republican party has been overturned by history and neither of them are in any way similar to the parties that existed in 1850.
