Sherman raped, pillaged and burned his way to Savannah. I don't think that will happen. American History class may be in order here.

The louisiana tigers were know as the worst of all confederate groups for pillaging, burning and rape. they were mostly mercernaries. they were an assortment of immigrants who had been kicked out of their countries and were drafted for war by n.o. plantation owners.

American History class may be in order here.Panzer!!

Civil War Harper's Weekly, June 7, 1862
We are not sorry to hear that the "Louisiana Tigers" are "about finished." It is about time that some other of these Southern regiments, which have desolated the South and done their best to destroy the nation, were "about finished" too. A gentleman from Tennessee reports that in certain neighborhoods the rebel soldiers have not only destroyed crops and fences, but have wantonly torn down houses and barns, burned every thing that would burn, and so thoroughly obliterated every vestige of improvement from the land, that the wretched owners who are now returning to their homes, under cover of our flag, experience some difficulty in discovering whereabouts their houses stood. Others tell still more fearful stories of outrages—outrages nameless and horrible; of whole districts in which not a woman or a girl has escaped the fiendish brutality of the Texans and Louisianians. It is about time, in the name of God and humanity, that the authors of these atrocities should be "finished."
