A good book on this subject is "Union Terror", by Dr. Jeffrey F. Addicott. Sherman was a disgusting monster. Had the right side won, Lincoln, Sherman, Sheridan, Butler, Hunter, and many others would have been tried and convicted of war crimes.
I recall that Gen. Karl von Clousewitz wrote that the American Civil War was the first modern war, because of Sherman and the deliberate involvement of civilians in the casualties. I wonder what the Gen. would say about WWII and thereafter.

Can’t wait for a little payback cuz like I said I don’t remember ever surrendering to a lesser person
