Raise your hand if you think that WTSherman


Dec 17, 2019, 12:00 PM

should get the ban hammer.

Why does she have to keep bumping month old lsu threads? And that handle: I know Sherman is a celebrated figure at lsu but the rest of the south knows him as a war criminal...

Will we ever get the stench of corn dogs out of the TNets?

Since you know that LSU fans have a reason for loving Sherman--he was the preseident of the college before war broke out--you probably already know much of what i'm about to say.

GA is split on Sherman. (It's a very narrow split, mind you. He pretty much spared Milledgeville, the state capitol at the time of the Civil War.) And many NCs loved him.

Lots of Lowcountry folk know this, but after Sherman completed his "War is Hell"/March to the Sea through GA, he refused to embark his army onto ships to travel north as Gen. Grant had requested. He had vowed to make SC sorry it ever started the war, and all of the pillaging and destruction he wrought on GA, he multiplied on SC. His army had destroyed anything of military value in GA; they destroyed much private property too in SC. It was only because Charleston was out of his way, and Grant had requested that he come directly to join him in Va that historical Charleston was spared.

When Sherman reached NC, it is said that he bestowed on the impoverished citizens of NC whatever he could spare and anything his army had confiscated from SC. His military and personal havoc-wreaking was over.

He was even considered to be too lenient in his peace terms with Gen. Johnston and had to renegotiate them.



Oh. You were talking about a poster? I've been ignoring him. Your question seemed much more interesting.
