Hypocrisy and ignorance is a common trait these days. “I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races … I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Africans, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.” - Abraham Lincoln “The Almighty has fixed the distinction of the races; the Almighty has made the black man inferior, and sir, by no legislation, by no partisan success, by no revolution, by no military power, can you wipe out this distinction.” - Fernando Wood Democrat New York House of Representatives. George H. Pendleton Us Democrat Senator of Ohio, leading opposition of the 13th amendment and 1866 civil rights. “Slavery exists. It is black in the South, and white in the North.” - Union Vice President Johnson. In an 1863 letter to his home state congressman, Elihu Washburne, Grant summed up his pre-war attitude: “I never was an Abolitionist,” he said, “not even what could be called anti-slavery.” Union territories of 1864 that had slavery. Missouri = 114,931 Tennessee = 275,719 Louisiana = 331,726 Kentucky = 225,483 West Virginia = 18,371 Maryland = 87,189 Delaware = 1,900 New Jersey= Unknown number of unregistered slaves. The union had 1,055,319 slaves in 1864. New Jersey was the last state to abolish slavery.
Sherman was the biggest jerk God ever put a gut in. His “March to the sea” burning widows and orphans out of their homes, amongst many other atrocities, makes my blood boil every time I think of it.

cool!
now how does any of this change the fact that the south seceded and fought to preserve and expand the institution of slavery?
"What was that about everyone in the Union wanting to fight against slavery and for racial equality!!??"

His golden statue in New York City remains untouched. Sherman was absolutely terrible!
I've read about him,, the south, the west...he was quite the general
After his mental breakdown he became a better leader, but not so good at the rules of war
Union Terror
1 worse slot: Sherman
2 worse slot: Lincoln
3 worse slot: Grant
In 1862, President Lincoln issued Presidential Proclamation 94 which suspended the writ of habeas corpus.
