If there’s anyone to scrub from LSU’s history it’s him.

All I know is this photo makes it very hard to feel sorry for Atlanta:

Really blows my mind liberals blow this guy and recommend putting statues of him up over confederates when he was for the genocide of native americans
Yep, celebrate a man who’s fame was forged entirely in making war on civilian populations, putting cities and people’s farms up in flames, taking their livestock and burning their fields, thus starving them to death, but incriminate the military for firebombing Tokyo and Dresden’s civilian populations in WWII. Seems just a wee bit inconsistent.

His return to war and the atrocities he committed were nothing more than misguided attempts to restore his name and standing.
I mean, he was given wide leeway to specifically break the will of the Confederacy to fight. There was nothing misguided about it. Ascribing his actions to some invisible motives rather than the most obvious, simplest explanation, is idiotic.

Tecumseh
Dumb question but how do you pronounce this name?
It is pronounced "War Criminal"

The ones whining about police brutality are the same ones celebrating this dude while his picture is next to the word brutality in the dictionary.
Hypocrisy at it's finest, ladies and gentlemen.

My favorite is Oliver Otis Howard, namesake of Howard University, brutal against the Nez Perce.

It's because they're not being very subtle in their desire to see someone do the same thing to white southerners today. It's the same reason they have such a burning hatred of Robert E. Lee and the CSA 150 years after it last existed.
They hate white conservative red state types more than they hate any foreign enemy.

And would you tolerate a modern day American general doing the same thing today that Sherman did against the Indians and the south?
The pillaging, raping of women, burning down, looting, and torturing of children that Sherman condoned his troops doing?
Liberals supporting Sherman is hilarious. He'd not only liberate CHAZ, immediately, but kill every inhabitant in the process.

Your "great country" doesn't exist. The USA will never again be a cohesive, functioning state. There is no shared value system anymore, at all. There are no national symbols or heroes that we can agree on. There is no agreement on which language we should speak, or how. Policy is being controlled by godless, uneducated, treasonous hordes.
The USA is destined for the dustbin of history, with Yugoslavia and the Ottoman Empire. Your precious Army could burn Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston and it wouldn't change that. This "country" is the biggest waste of lives and lead in human history.

well, the reconstructed Confederates and the loony leftists want to go into total denial about Sherman's relationship with LSU...
Keep in mind, Sherman played the key role in getting the old Pentagon Barracks given to LSU when the Army left Baton Rouge...the old barracks were the LSU campus until construction of the present campus in the late 1920's...and Huey Long's somewhat illegal purchase of the barracks property (which if you dig a bit, the property belonged to the university, NOT the state) for the present state capital provided funds for construction of what we know today as LSU

Almost every empire in the history of this planet has rotted from within.
The US is no different, aside from the fact we can watch the rot streamed in real time.

When I considered that Atlanta is being burned by the very children of the people that Sherman "liberated", I LOL'd. Nice going, Willy.
