Sherman would hate the current US government. He did what he did out of empathy because he knew the war was decided and wanted to put the South down quickly. IIRC he wanted much more favorable surrender terms for the South than what they eventually got.

Sherman and Grant were lucky that John Pemberton was an idiot. Had he readied Vicksburg properly for an extended siege they might still be trying to break into the works there.

Pemberton could have broken Grant's army against those works but instead they got starved out.

Evacuate the civilians lay in the supplies and let Grant and Sherman attack and lose men. They couldn't stay there forever.
