She is a nutjob Westerner and I do not trust her.
Uncle Billy Sherman's boys from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin were considered "Westerners" when they took their little detour through Georgia and then on up into the Carolina's.
I have wanted to own three large breed dogs (mastiff, dane, or some such) and name them William, Tecumseh, and Sherman.
Another example of my repeated attempts to re-start the Civil War.
My college roommate's last name was Schermann. On a trip to Florida during Spring Break one year we stopped in a greasy spoon in Georgia to grab a bite. "Flo" came by to take our order and detected our lack of accent and ask where we were from (Illinois) and then our names.
"I'm Mr. Schermann" said my roommate with a smile.
"Flo" blanched... I mean she was visibly shaken.....she looked at me.
"I'm Mr. Grant" I stated with a huge grin.
Needless to say, the quality of service deteriorated after that.
And in regards to Sherman's "Murderous Rampage"; compared to the continuous bloodletting that Grant and Lee were engaged in in Virginia, The March to the Sea was almost casuality free, on
both sides. Victor Davis Hanson's Book
The Soul of Battle: From Ancient Times to the Present Day, How Three Great Liberators Vanquished Tyranny is an excellent read not only on Sherman's March to the Sea, but also how Epaminondas of Thebes and George S. Patton lead armies that delivered decisive and mortal blows to their enemies, not by killing vast numbers of them, but using speed and maneuver to destroy the morale and fighting ability of their enemies.
