Kinda an overrated POS.

[@tommyrq180]

Nerd alert. Civil War geek here. Technically, although Sherman’s March to the Sea was designed to attack the south at home, Sherman specifically limited actual hell to just destruction. If given half a chance, his troops would have gone even further, that is, rape and human atrocities. But Sherman had his officers keep a very, very strict (death penalty) rein on his troops. They were there to burn crops, destroy economic/industrial infrastructure (roads, railroads, buildings, etc.), and attack armed belligerents. But not go after civilians. Historians have called it “remarkably disciplined” and it resulted in surprisingly few Confederate casualties, either civilian or military. But the devastation was painful and strategically decisive. It remains a painful memory for people in the south but from a military point of view, marks a significant campaign in terms of its avoidance of human atrocities through strict control of invading troops by their leaders. Some exceptions occurred as you would expect, notably when Union prisoners of war were freed from the horrible Andersonville prison and they went on a retribution rampage before being stopped by Sherman.

[@Sharker2400]

#TheoVonn One of the things the Union did that most do not know about was the Union navy went from Virginia to LA and back, continuously, destroying the salt works. People forget how vital salt was for preservation of food even though canning had been created by a french chef about 60 years before. The Southerners were constantly hungry and at the Appomattox Court House when the treaty was signed, Lee's troops hadn't eaten in two days. Part of the treaty was to feed them ASAP after he signed which the Union honored. The southern troops cheered when they rolled in the food wagons.

[@CDSAfghan]

Ya the blockade and ability to raid fairly uncontested wasa huge detriment to the south. Nevermind the weapon shipments the union blocked.

Grant knew he had the numbers and despite being labeled a "killer" he kept at it until he wore the south down. All the Generals on both sides knew each other on a personal level so there was a lot of scheming going on trying to outsmart the next guy and Grant made a few shrewd moves that isolated the south. Going after cargo was another good idea that kept the south lacking in armaments and medical supplies.

[@ck9363]

Actually, Lincoln never freed the slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the states that condoned slavery, from their obligations to their slaves. Lincoln was hoping to cause a slave revolt,for his war with the south. Lincoln was a traitor from the start. He was a BAR Certified attorney, and as such, he could not hold any public office anywhere in the country, because of the titles he'd been granted. The 13th Amendment forbade it. ( The original 13th, so before anyone gives me any shit about the 13th Amendment being one abolishing slavery...the one I'm referring to is the TONA Act of 1819, and also if anyone does try, then explain how one can abolish something , then in the same breath say it can be used as punishment.)That was the reason the southern states left. They knew it was unlawful for him to hold the public office of President of The United States of America. And also, please, for some of you dimmer light bulbs out there, know that 1 I do not condone slavery, in any fuckin form, and 2. I'm an Iowan by birth, so I think I woulda been considered a yankee. (Not sure on that.) Just statin facts, folks. I will say this tho, Lincoln may have changed his mind after seeing Gettysburg with his own eyes. I think he tried to correct his mistakes, after seeing the cost of his treachery. But he was murdered before he could fix what he had been duped into by his masters. The last part is just my opinion, everything else I stated is a fact.
