Hey Kim, unless you burned Atlanta, I'm sure you'd do better than Sherman.

OK - I finally have to respond to y'all. I didn't say that I thought that Sherman was a great human being. For example, his policy toward subduing (read exterminating) the Plains Indians earns him a place among other great humanitarians such as Genghis Khan and Adolph Hitler. My GG-grandfather Hyatt's volunteer regiment from Illinois served in Sherman's army right up to the seige of Atlanta, where he (grandpa, not Sherman) was wounded and spent the rest of the war recovering. My ancestor received the Medal of Honor for valor at Vicksburg, in May of 1863. Sherman had devised an interesting but ultimately futile plan to assault the Confederate works and called for a volunteer force of 150 men for the assault. Grandpa was one of only 49 survivors, many of whom also received the MOH. Partly because of my ancestor's service in Sherman's army I am partial to the general. Sherman was also one of the few generals of the time who understood the true nature of all-out war. Like it or not, his path of destruction through the South actually helped end the war. I admire his generalship, not necessarily the man. I am glad, however, that my ancestor was wounded prior to the infamous march to the sea, so you can't blame my family for that. Hope I didn't offend anyone - again. If so, I apologize. I still don't want to run for SLAS president.
