I get why people do it, but man do I hate the glorification of Sherman when it comes to addressing ~~Confederates~~ southern conservatives.
He used the same tactics that he used against the Confederacy against the Native Americans, to vile ends.

Remember, when terrible things happen to people I hate, it's okay.
Nah, the war against the south the crimes against humanity that was manifest destiny are two completely different things.
