Today we can armchair our quarter-back, then was a different time, people thought different, Sherman new not only he had to deny the enemy food, supplies, cause confuession, But make sure jonny-reb had to worry. He had to fight and stay alive, also how could he protect family and love ones? Most confederates must have worried thoughts like this all the time. I was one thing to fight for 3 mos. it another to stuck in battlenoing if try to leave you be shot if caught. Grants terms show how he new southerners would have to be survive to rebuild.
Thought “What if Mosby's raiders had gone deep in the north” how could that effected Northen feeling about the war?”
The Middle of virginia was a good I deal if they had Grant there. It would have taken much more to have pushed in to Richmond, if they had cover there flanks, they could have divid southern force enought to come in to Richmond. Ever they were able to come with in 5 miles from the west. Lee almost got caught at Orange Court House.
The south Lost man power, did not have the ability make arme like the north did, if they had use more hit run tatics they could have drug the war out till the north would have sued for peace, and mostly the south would have not incured raft the of the north…
Did you know Park rangers keep metal detectors, Cars, stuff in cars,you and search very hard for any loot you have found and some cases your house,boat,trailers and frist born. Fines run up to $10,000 and/or 10 years in jail.Now for a better leave the stuff in the ground, it tell a story, it help all of us understand history, once remove the story is gone for ever, you want something old take me home I will be more fun and tell many stories.
Well bais, Your writ history you show your bias, you read bais allows you to see things your way, Myth ” I have no bais's”
Read the Orders givin to others, Gentleman did give commands, many were given so you could decide what was to be done,, ' At your convenance retire and cut off retreating army”, ok we rest and do it tomorrow.
Ok, The James River and Kanawha Canal went from Richmond to West Virginia. It may have been slow but the north want to be destroyed. Ther Was also C.O., Many were used to move food, crops, Materials to Centers were they helped perople and war effort.I am the piont person in Richmond Virginia for James River And Kanawha Canal, and tour guide.
He said, “War is Hell”, my father side live in Georgia Davisboro, He did what he saw and knew had to be done, He helped end a war that was a lost cause from Day one. If the south had won or became a seperate part of US or country. We may have never been the strong country we now are.The War was our out pouring of Passion, not logic. Cry for all thoes that went to war re.joyce it is over and we now can learn from it. General Sherman was a hero and I think some may have carried out the mission with to much zeal. But some used there brains and saved Food and Survived to tell the story to a younger generation.
