Sherman's March

[charge_of_glory]

Did anyone watch Sherman's March on the History Channel? I must say, it was really interesting. I'm glad they attempted to get the truth out and dispell the myth surrounding him. It was definitely one of the better shows I've seen on the Civil War, if not the best. I have a newfound respect for Sherman and his men too. What does everyone else think?

*bangs head on table* :x I don't have cable, I had work then, and I didn't have anyone willing to record it for me! My government teacher was telling me it was really good, and I wanted to watch it. Now, I got to wait until June to get a copy of it. GAAARRR!

I did not watch the program. However, I used to "dislike" Sherman and for what he did on his treatment of Atlanta and his march.
Bring it forward 148 years. We are now involved in a war.
Any military man wants any war to end. We would admire and respect any general for shrugging off politics and taking the bull by the horns, bring a close to this war.
That was what Sherman was trying to accomplish. Being a southerner this is hard for me to say.
If you saw the movie "Gettysburg", Lee told Longstreet that he wanted Gettysburg to be the final battle and for the war to end
that day.
The job for the military is peace. However, if this isn't possible,
stand back out of their way.

i didn't watch it but i still think shermans march was a an act of murder.i mean they burned atlanta and other towns and everyone lets him get away if the south burn stuff they never get away why because the south lost the war

I know it was a few months ago, but I agree, it was very interesting. I beleive that those people that did see it now know and have a better understning and respect for Sherman along with his men.

sherman's march is really good. it exposes the truth about sherman. sherman did a big part in ending the civil war although he ''invented'' the military strategy total war. he ordered his troops to steal dishes and any thing that could be used as a weapon. he tore up railroads and burned half of atlanta. his troops stole food. sherman was a very aggressive general. but it covers up the myth.

[gettysburg man]

but people were saying that sherman was a monster and he wasn't he was just an aggressive general and he nerver murdered or raped anyone. that's just a myth.
