if Sherman is a war criminal in your view, what does that make men like LeMay and Spaatz?
Did LeMay and Spaatz murder Americans in cold blood? Did LeMay and Spaatz wantonly bomb and destroy its cities,infrastructure and countryside -- just for S&Gs??

If kicking screaming, crying women and children when they're down and burning down and vandalizing half of America (when the war was ALREADY over) is considered a..."whoopin'".
Sherman was a coward and clinical psychopath.
He was also doing satanic-sociopath's work of the SAME descendant PTB "Controllers who started every bloody war, murdering millions under the guise of "Freedom" ever since then. The same PTB from then are TODAY'S "RESET-ERS" of the sh*t-show we're now suffering through.

That's exactly what the public school system and Academic "historians" of the "winners" told us for 158 years.
But....IS IT TRUE? *Might* they be lying and covering up the war crimes and atrocities of psychotic sociopaths, wrapping it in a flag of "War is War"?

EXACTAMUNDO. Sherman (and whomever approved this action) should have been court-martialed, convicted, and HUNG for War Crimes, mass murder, and terrorism. Of course the (controlled and bankrolled) Union media hacks framed these atrosities as some kind of "clean up operation" and justifiable "war is war" claptrap.

No, but neither did Sherman. If you can find me one example to the contrary where Sherman personally ordered his men to rape and murder any civilian they encountered, I will stand corrected.

Uh...yeah, they did. Especially LeMay. The bombing of Japanese cities in 1945 was less about strategy and more about terror. Many of those B-29 bombing raids were specifically targeting civilians.
Sherman's pillaging and burning of Georgia and South Carolina was designed to hurt the Confederate war effort by denying their soldiers and civilians the food and supplies they needed to carry on the conflict. It succeeded. It also caused thousands of Confederate soldiers to desert the various Confederate armies so they could return home to protect their families and rebuild their farms.

Chyeah. THAT badazzery (aka cowardice and wanton destruction for no good reason) turned out real well, huh? How are you enjoying today's RESET?
IRONY: You're STILL a slave. We all are. The Civil War was America's first RESET -- thanks to the very same Freedom-crushing, Constitution-deleting Bankster-run globalist PTB running the show THEN as well as TODAY.

Wrong Context: LeMay did NOT target AMERICANS.
So...um. NO.

Brutha, I respect your passion and knowledge of history -- but couldn't be any more wrong on this single issue. Sherman's pillaging, burning, mass murder and wanton destruction was obscene-level terrorism and revenge -- plain and simple. We may never know exactly who authorized it. Historians and media at the time were BOTH controlled assets, tasked with desperately changing & spinning the narrative (same as today) in publicly justifying the acts (as described) as "necessary to quell any further war effort" -- but that was an obvious lie. By then the war was over except for the formalities. WINNERS WRITE THE HISTORY.

I take it from your response that you cannot come up with a written or verbal order where Sherman told his subordinates to kill civilians?
quote:

So it's only a war crime when Americans are targeted? Interesting. Funnily enough, at the time, those people living in Georgia and South Carolina were not Americans but Confederates. So the same logic you use to excuse LeMay's behavior applies to Sherman here.

This is a gross exaggeration as there was no mass murder of civilians during Sherman's March to the Sea. I challenge you to provide me a link to a book or document that says otherwise. Likewise, I once again challenge you to find me Sherman's direct order to his subordinates to violently target civilians.

WINNERS WRITE THE HISTORY.
If you know anything about the history of Civil War scholarship, then you will know that the American Civil War is one of the few instances in history where the LOSERS wrote the initial narratives of the conflict. This fact is one of the main reasons why you are espousing the bullshite on Sherman as being some sort of terrorist/mass murderer when it comes to the War Between the States.

In the grand scheme of things, anything he did to break the Confederacy was worth it and more morally sound than anything done by the South.

Liberator is the loon that thinks the Mormon Temple in SLC was built by aliens.
btw-Not a single American was killed by Sherman.
Lots of Confederates though.

THE SECOND dopiest poster at TD! What a gem. And thank YOU also for letting me know that I still live in YOUR head rent-free as well. (Btw, does it hurt much when you try challenging those epic 70 IQ points when you type out more than 3 words?

I respect him to an extent, but he did commit egregious atrocities against the civilian population, which included women, children, and yes... African Americans.
His goals were a quicker path to total victory and severe intimidation.
His methods were effective and the longterm result was eventually a much more successful USA.
That said, the man had no honor.
Luckily, key defeated Confederate leaders worked hard after the fact to deter guerilla warfare against federal forces.
Unfortunately, people like GT Beauregard were less successful at stopping intimidation and terror tactics against the black population.
As an aside, Sherman was quite open that he didnt really have a beef with slavery. After the war he openly advocated for the genocide of American Indians in the West - women, children, everyone.
Bit of a dishonorable scumbag, but some of his actions had net positive results.
