He was an American imperialist and an oppressor of natives. Why would anyone against Confederate statues support him?

Yes.
and New Orleans should erect several memorials to black New Orleanians including plaques identifying various slave auction sites throughout the city. Then return Lee to Lee circle.

I think they should build a new ROTC building and name it after him.

Sherman butchered a bunch of Indians in his day.

No. We shouldn't create any new statues, memorials, or namings for any person who had anything to do with the Civil War.

I'm also in favor of no statues, memorials, or namings for any person, ever again.

As a society we lack the maturity to understand the flaws in each other and in historical figures. A person can do 100 things right, but it's always the one thing they do wrong that we never let go of.

So my view... no more naming things and making statues to honor certain individuals. Let that be a practice relegated to the past. The future will be too childish and petty to tolerate statues of people.

Only if he has a torch in one hand and a scalp in the other while raping a woman.

Uncle Billy!

When he burned the bridge so freed slaves couldn't follow any more will that be a strike.

He was right regarding Atlanta

Sherman gave the 40 acres and a mule order that still results in calls for reparations.
