General Sherman knew how to deal with Democrats.
By burning the homes of women and children and being an all around scumbag?
p.s.
Modern progressives do not code Sherman's war crimes as being against Democrats..they code them as being against Southern Whites…and the celebrate him for that
I will never understand conservatives who want to "own the Dems" by embracing people like Sherman
He was also basically just not a good human being
He ended that war.
1. That does not have anything to do with your statement on how he was "good" a dealing with democrats.
Fast forward today he probably would be a modern DC defense industry liberal and vote for the Democratic Party.
2. His commander in Chief could have ended that war by simply letting the Southern States have their independence
He ended that war by inflicting similar misery on the Southern Democrats as they had inflicted on other human beings. Does that clarify?
Are you still under the mistaken impression that Sherman faught that war to free slaves?
Lol the guy even owned a slave when he was President of LSU!
[Sherman had adopted the southern attitude toward slavery: it was part of the natural order. He had a slave in both Mobile and Charleston, and he strongly defended the institution in letters home, on one occasion using Fort Moultrie's sorrow over the death of Braxton Bragg's retainer to demonstrate 'the strong attachment between master and slave.'" [John F. Marszalek, ~Sherman: A Soldier's Passion ]
