I think Jimmy was offended when he saw the picture of Sherman in my office.
"that's Sherman isn't it?"
"yup"
"goddamned yankee"
"yup"
"that's treasonous"
"works for me"
I keep the picture, not as some might keep a photo of an idol, but as a reminder, and as a warning.
If I don't stick to my guns, some arrogant, seething, son-of-a-bitch with disgust for everything I represent will step into the void & annihilate everything that I've worked so hard for.
it keeps me busy.
The devastation and wanton destruction of property by bummers alienated the southern people, but Sherman contended that the war could be brought to a halt sooner with a firm hand, and that the loss of property was less odious than the continued wasting of lives.
Twice Sherman’s aggressive warfare won him the thanks of congress.
Hostilities in the Carolinas ended April 17th when Sherman & Johnston, once again commanding the Army of Tennessee, met under truce to discuss surrender terms 8 days after General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox
George says we won’t never forget
And I believe him
The Legend of Crazy George is a road movie through Hell, and places further South.
