Yeah, they were great guys – Grant laying siege to Vicksburg and starving and bombing civilians for a year – sound familiar? And his boy Sherman, burning and terrorizing civilians across Georgia. Amazing what can happen when you get to write the history.
They could have surrendered but they had been brainwashed by the wealthy plantation owners (the ‘billionaires’ of the day) that what was good for the rich was a noble cause and good for the average joe bob as well. It wasn’t.
The outcome could be different today because Trump-Hegseth-Flynn are no Lincoln-Grant-Sherman. Sad how low my Republican party and the military have sunk.
Y’all may be able to better than participation ribbons this time. We no longer have military leaders like Grant and Sherman – SEC Champions 1864-65.
