I hope he's burning in hell.

Another fun fact: while on an inspection tour of Texas frontier forts in 1868, Sherman was almost ambushed by a Kiowa war party. They would easily have overwhelmed his small 18 man escort, but a medicine man said to wait, a richer target would be along soon. A few hours later a wagon train appeared which the Kiowa set upon and annihilated.

Why won’t any of the boards “moderates” address Box’s post?

Lincoln did in fact abhor slavery from the time he traveled to New Orleans as a young man and witnessed a slave auction. He was also a pragmatist whose first priority was preserving the Union in the most expeditious manner possible. Hence his famous quote.
Most northerners were antislavery to one degree or another while at the same time most of them didn't see blacks as full equals. The war didn't start out as an antislavery crusade, it was one region attempting to break up the country vs another region trying to prevent it. But slavery was the primary cause of the schism.
