As always you resort to personal attack instead of argument.

You forget that it was the 'innocent' southern farmers that supported the southern military and kept slavery alive. The farmers in the north that General Lee plundered in his invasion of the Shenandoah Valley had no such guilt. It was Sherman's stated intention to wreck the South's economic foundation and wreck it he did. Curious that the South and its supporters cared for their valuables than the lives of their young men. General Sherman had the fewest casualties of any major general in the war.

Southern hatred should rather be directed at General Grant who had no qualms about trading life for life in brutal battles with General Lee -- and Lee himself who sent thousands to their deaths in a stupid frontal attack against the Gettysburg heights.

You're never going to find anyone 'squeaky clean' in any kind of war. But before you condemn Lincoln and Sherman for not being 'squeaky clean' look at the flith of slavery that besmirched the South.
