Was GENERAL SHERMAN a WAR CRIMINAL?!?!?!?!
Checkmate, Lincolnites! Debunking the Lost Cause myths surrounding William Tecumseh Sherman, including the Atlanta Campaign, the March to the Sea, and the burning of Columbia – and tackling the "slavery would have gone away on its own" thing while we're at it. Surprisingly, Johnny Reb gets in one or two really solid points.
