  • God bless ya, Uncle Billy! 144+ years later, the neo-Secesh are still blubbering in their muscatel about how you brought that long horrible war to a definitive conclusion- but those of us whose ancestors fought with you will forever hold you in high esteem. And when Johnston surrendered, you offered more generous terms than Grant offered Lee. The politicians may have loathed you, but your soldiers were always proud of having served under you- and that's all that matters .

  • Just so everyone will know what a dumbass you are, I'm leaving this ignorant post up, unlike your other drivel which will not see the light of day. Sand Creek occurred 11/29/64, during the march to the sea, eight years before Sherman had army command. Wounded Knee occurred 12/29/90, six years after Sherman retired, and two months before he died. He had nothing whatever to do with either event.

    The rest of your mouth-froth speaks for itself. If you're an army officer, I'm Elton John.

  • It's February 8. Happy birthday Uncle Billy!

  • God bless William T. Sherman.

  • Proud descendant of the 50th Illinois in the Army of the Tennessee. God bless you Uncle Billy.

  • Tecumseh was the MAN.

  • Hoorah for Uncle Billy. Hoorah. Let the Rebs know they reaped what they sowed. Hoorah!

  • @eringobragh915 I somewhat doubt that....

  • @RevBillyRayCollins Sure, perhaps they were from, say, Montana or the like, eh? :)

  • @eringobragh915 Not necessarily, the confederate snipers could have been from anywhere not just a nearby town. Besides, where is the documented evidence to prove they were indeed from Randolph? Your statement cant be taken for granted.

  • @RevBillyRayCollins War is all hell.

    Hint: Where do you think the snipers lived? If you guessed Randolph, you get a cigar. My advice would have been, don't send your townsfolk out to be guerrillas and snipe at Sherman's men. Srsly.

  • @eringobragh915 in which case you will destroy the place." Mark Grimsley, historian who defends Sherman, asserts that Sherman must have been certain that none of the residents of Randolph TN whose homes were burned were actually responsible for the firing at Shermans gunboats. You can find this info in 'Sherman: A Soldier's Passion for Order", 'Merchant of Terror: General Sherman and Total War', 'The Hard Hand of War: Union Military Policy toward Southern Civilians 1861-1865', 'The Real Lincoln'
