William Tecumseh Sherman is the U.S. Civil War general who famously said, "war is hell" -- and proved it with a destructive campaign through the South that burned the cities of Atlanta, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina. A graduate of the military academy at West Point (1840), Sherman served without distinction during the Mexican War and, as a young lieutenant, was sent by President James Polk to report on California's gold rush (1847). Sherman left the military in 1853 and tried unsuccessfully to build a career in banking in California and law in Kansas before becoming the superintendent of the Louisiana Military Seminary (the forerunner of Louisiana State University). After the South seceded, he returned to the army in 1861 as a colonel and went on to participate in some of the Civil War's biggest campaigns, including Bull Run, Shiloh, Vicksburg and Chattanooga.

Wars are terrible, yet regrettably, each so often mandatory. no count if it incredibly is our "very own" human beings or remote places human beings, warfare isnt high-quality for ANY. Civil wars flow on on a daily basis interior the USA, yet to certainly take sides, p.c.. up hands and flow after our fellow guy over an argument, is very no longer likely in this democracy of ours.
