Welcome to TD.
No civil rights act was necessary either, huh?

Split into hundreds of different cells and dispersed them throughout the hard-to-access regions near Union forces. Fight a guerrilla war that eventually broke the Union’s will to fight. Link up with republican forces in Mexico fighting the French much earlier than they tried to. All this is predicated on the unlikely shot that the Confederacy could maintain a semi-functioning slave economy in a protracted guerrrilla war with most of its slaves fleeing north and the Union Army bringing the wrath of God through what little industrial heartland it had.
Militarily, the Confederacy was done when Vicksburg was surrounded a month and a half before July 1863. The Western generals were also not going to lose to Lee in a straight up fight.

I dunno, one could see Sherman’s march as mercy and needed to end the prolonged suffering of war. I dont hate Sherman

I would argue Sherman saw the true nature of modern war earlier and more clearly than his predecessors, his peers, and many leaders that came for several generations after him (probably until the famous Soviet generals in the 1930’s). He understood that the real body-stacker in modern conflict is length. Shortening a war is a merciful act.
I’ve always found some of the views on Sherman amusing in the sense that he was among the most sympathetic of the major Union figures to the South both before and after the war. He just had a strong zealous and fundamentalist moral streak in his character (not uncommon among Westerners of the time) and he saw the Confederacy’s betrayal to the U.S. in those terms.
