Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Lemmy.world rules

Sherman's only mistake (during the Civil War, at least) was not burning enough (lemmy.world)

For the purpose of staying critical of even the good guys in history (no one has ever been perfect).

Sherman did help carry out Grant's order to expel Jews from the Union occupied south, so he defintely committed at least one other mistake during the war.

We could probably find a few more, honestly, but "Sherman made a few mistakes" isn't as punchy.

Oh for sure, just felt like pointing it out since it is for some reason not as known about.
