What did William T. Sherman have to do with the US Civil War?
Major General William Tecumseh Sherman fought for the Union in the Western theater of the Civil War, serving under Ulysses S. Grant in the Battle of Shiloh and the Siege of Vicksburg. When President Lincoln ordered Grant to the Eastern theater to defeat Robert E. Lee, Sherman was promoted to commander in the Western theater. It was at this time that Sherman began his invasion of Georgia. On September 2, 1864, Sherman was able to capture Atlanta, which may have contributed to Lincoln's re-election in the presidential election of 1864. General Sherman's tactics were ruthless and were in line with both General Grant and US President Lincoln's ideas on how to end the war as fast as possible. This is questioned as many Union soldiers lost their lives needlessly and the "political agenda" of US President Lincoln may be viewed with a critical eye.
