Oh, and for anyone suggesting Sherman would support taking down Confederate monuments remember that Joseph E. Johnston was a pallbearer at his funeral, and the two men were very close friends.

@BlueandGray1864 Not a Sherman fan (or his brother) but I think it's highly likely that he would have raised an army of his own to retrieve that statute and place it somewhere honorable.

@BlueandGray1864 The Mexican War and common service ensured most if not all the major players had friends on the other side. Famously Armistead and Hancock. A tale for the ages. It wasn't as easy as mutual hatred for many people, the way the left pretends it was, and try to make people believe.

@BlueandGray1864 And do you think he would want to glorify the act of treason, of rebelling against the duly elected and legitimate government of the United States? No. You don't remember or teach history with statues, you glorify and set up people as an ideal with statues. Lee deserves neither.

@YourBuddyRichie @BlueandGray1864 Same. Wonder if Matt’s ancestors fought? We’re they Rebs and he’s self-hating, their heroism reminds him of his own ineptitudes? Or is he post-1965 like so many ironic Sherman fans?

@BlueandGray1864 nobody cares. venerating traitors who fought for slavers should have never been a thing. No reconciliation, scorched earth for traitors who secede.

@BlueandGray1864 People forget that in the Civil War, brothers were on opposite sides. I am so sorry for people so threatened by history that they cannot let us judge it for ourselves. North and South, today we are all Americans--that was Abraham Lincoln's desire, and one reason he was murdered.

@BlueandGray1864 Sherman retired from service and wound up being the headmaster at the Louisiana Military Academy. He helped to supply the state's armory. Then Ft. Sumter was attacked. Like Lee, he felt obliged to his home state. He returned to the North and active duty shortly after.

@BlueandGray1864 As usual, you’re spot on with this comment. Post-war Sherman was exceedingly conciliatory towards the South.

@BlueandGray1864 Read Gen. Sherman’s thoughts on black people. Read Lincoln’s. Most of the Founders owned slaves. The left will go after their legacies and monuments soon enough. It’s foolish to view the men of the 19th century with the lens of the 21st century.
