Sherman's march to the sea was designed to expedite the end of the Civil War. His army swept through Georgia to crush the soul of those who supported the traitors. His name is still an epithet in some circles.
It is delicious, that a strong, beautiful, audacious African American Woman had her own March to the Sea.
Abrams lead her army of voter registration and GOTV organizers to save the soul of our Democracy.
Her name will go down in history with the other courageous warriors.
Georgia's Rising
Thank you!

(102,378 posts)Sherman's, a war crime, regardless of its help in bringing the war to an end. Not to mention his post-war genocide of Native Americans (The Civil War "hero" brought his scorched-earth policy to the Plainsand wiped out Native Americans food supply after exiling them to reservations-- among his list of horrors).
There were many heroic Union Generals and leaders. Sherman was most certainly not one of them.
