Marched through Georgia destroying everything that could support the Confederate war effort, and is often described as the first modern general. He said war is hell.
William Tecumseh Sherman was an American businessman, author, and United States Army general in the Union Army during the American Civil War (1861 to 1865). As a general he earned recognition for his command of military strategy but criticism for the harshness of his scorched-earth policies, which he implemented in his military campaign against the Confederate States.
