General Sherman's Memoirs General William Tecumseh Sherman was one
of the most zealous of all Union Generals, and believed firmly in
punishing the south, and removing their will to fight by targeting
civilian infrastructure. His methods of warfare later become known
as the tactics of total war, or the belief that war isn't only against
the troops on the battlefield, but also against the industries and
transportation systems that supply them. He believed firmly in the
justice and righteousness of a brutal wall, with the theory being the
worse he could make it, the sooner it would be over. General
Sherman captured the imagination of Northern Patriots, and the Popular
Press during the Civil War. Below, we present examples of News
