William Tecumseh Sherman

William Tecumseh Sherman

Look at my face!!!!

I had a job to do....

I burned it all down

as my stomach turned

I felt...

but I was numbed by war

I plowed the south down

I maid Georgia howl..

Had the worst of the worst

under my command...

They wanted me to run

for president ...what a laugh

I would rather go to prison

In the end war was

all just moonshine for me

the people that cry for war the most

never have picked up a gun

Nor had ever heard a very

young man scream out for his mother

in a trench...

ā€œWAR IS CRUELTY.

THERE IS NO USE TRYING TO REFORM IT.

THE CRUELER IT IS, THE SOONER IT WILL BE OVER.ā€

I did my job… look at my face…. cant you tell????

Hey mark I have read a lot about Mr Sherman . There was no reason to burn that path all way down the Savanah river . He was a little reckless but he did get the job done .there were bad generals on both sides. Great write cheers rockĀ
