<blockquote class="Quote"><div><strong class="bc-author">LaserWolf</strong> said:</div><div>Sherman's March (also known as setting shit on fire) was a horrible bloody destructive attack on a civilians that could no longer defend themselves. <br /> The military reasoning for such an unforgivable tactic was that unless the Confederacy was utterly defeated they would not accept surrender and take to the hills and continue with guerrilla warfare.<br /> Not unlike the rational behind dropping the atomic bomb (twice) on Japan. </div></blockquote> <br /> Sherman's personal regiment during the March was composed of Southerners who were loyal to the Union. There were a whole lot more of them than there were of Harvey's super happy joy joy black Confederates.<br /> <br /> The "horrible bloody destructive attack on civilians" is not supported by historians. There was massive destruction of infrastructure and seizure of crops but civilian casualties were low.
