Sherman did his job. This is warfare. You play for keeps and do what has to be done to make the other side give up.

At this point in history it was considered very poor form, Lee refused to do this saying he will not fighy anyone that doesnt take up arms against him. Union officers even remarked about how little damage southern armies did to private property while in the north. The South on the way to Gettysburg could have literally burned up the east coast. One side commited war crimes and it was almost exlusively the union.
