Sherman would fit right in with today's DC politics.
Well, he was a Republican.

What if the current president has been elected by less than 40% of the popular vote and wasn’t even on the ballot in over 30% of the states?
What if the current president shut down all news media opposed to his agenda and jailed the publishers and editors? What if he signed an arrest warrant for the Chief Justice of the United States?
What if he arrested the majority of a state’s legislators because there was a chance they oppose him?
What if he deported his most vocal critic in Congress?
What if he declared martial law and suspended habeas corpus so that any person could be arrested without being charged and held indefinitely?
What if he violated the 2nd Amendment by disarming the states of his choosing?
What if, after one month of office and without congressional approval, he released the full might of the military on any state that refused to pay federal taxes?
What if he initiated these actions against the better judgement of the entirety of his cabinet and military?
What if the military, while carrying out his orders, killed thousands of civilians, burned down homes, destroyed property, torched entire cities; while robbing and raping their civilians?
What if he created new states out of existing states all in the name of political expediency?
What if he was so wildly unpopular that just months before the election it was believed he would not have been elected to a second term?
What if he placed armed guards at voting places to insure people voted the right way?
What if, after the president’s death that the government told us this was all for the good of the people to help ensure it was free and equal?
What if because of all his gross violations of the United States Constitution, we build him a massive monument in DC and called him our greatest president of all time?
frick Lincoln, frick Sherman, frick Grant, and frick Yankees.

He may not have been the president we deserved, but he was the president we needed to preserve the Union.

You want to blame anyone for that...blame the Democrats who supported John Breckenridge and the . Lincoln beat Douglas by 500,000 votes...Breckenridge got 850,000 votes and 6 times the number of electoral votes than Douglas. Also, blame the Constitutional Union Party for running John Bell, and siphoning off another 600,000 votes and 39 electoral votes.

It looks like we will be forced to leave anyway. The world elites own the USA and us peasants are surrounded by open borders.

Arkansas was one of the last states to join the confederacy. They voted no at first as Northern Arkansas had very little slaves and wanted nothing to do with succession. However it was until Lincoln ordered 700 Arkansas national guardsman to go to Fort Sumter. Arkansas was hesitant but they voted again and decided succession.

Unlawfully, tyrannically, and murderously. He is unequivocally, one of the worst presidents in US history. Easily bottom 5 president ever.

Because this is my home. The home in which my ancestors crossed a fricking ocean to build in the late 1600s. Had ancestors at Cowpens and King's Mountain, fighting to free a people from being governed by tyranny.

I'm just upset he didn't burn Atlanta down to the in ground foundation.
fricker didn't allow us to escape from our own shitty city planning, so now we're stuck with an abortion of a city layout that isn't based upon the more efficient grid system.

And a big one at that. Because what U.S. bombers did to the Germans and the Japanese is far worse than what Sherman did to Confederate cities.
This is a fricking horrid take.
