Put on the mantle piece so i was glad to get it. I thanked him for it and i was going to waco to do some research at baylor, wrapped it up in old dirty tshirts and put it carefully in my suitcase and went down to waco in the rental car the next day, spoke well and came back and went to the airport at dfw, checked the bag to go to washington because i was going up there to a smithsonian program. I spent a few days at my brothers doing research in the archives. Did that, the jar still wrapped up in its tshirt. Went back after i finished to the airport, checked the bag to go back to my home in americas where i was living then and changed planes in atlanta and they changed the bag to the little world war i plane that they used between atlanta and albany, georgia. Got down to albany, picked up my suitcase, put it in the car and drove back. I was convinced that bell jar was broken and there would be a million pieces of glass and i would have to throw out everything in the suitcase, but i got
Through the first thing i would say is there is this misconception that people say oh, shermans men cut a swath 50 miles wide or 60 miles wide. That is i always tell my students you dont want to think of it like a lawn mower strip. It is not 50 miles wide of lawn mower. It is 50 miles from the edge of one column through four columns to the furthest edge of the other. So in many ways it is very what is the word oim looking for. Not sporadic or episodic. But sometimes a house is targeting and other houses a mile away are not targeted. That being said, where shermans men and him and African American African Americans is a really interesting question. I love pauls that shermans army was probably one to great armies of liberation. They are not probably very willing liberators. Sherman was not certainly not a fan of racial equality or after the war according civil rights to African Americans. He did not he was perfectly content as they went on the to plantations to have his men liberate the
Thank you very much paul. And thank you all very much for coming. Merchant of terror, demon, a killer. If you type was sherman a into google the auto complete includes war criminal, hero or villain. And if you add a couple more letters you get terrorist. The urban dictionary, a popular website, describes generally william t. Sherman as having employed the vicious tactic of targeting civilians. Continuing, such tactics had previously been deemed morally unacceptable. The deliberate targeting of the civilians for attack was taken up in world war ii ending in the deaths of millions. The bombing of european cities by both sides of the war and japanese cities by the u. S. , as well as attacks on civilians in china, the philippines and korea by japan were consistent with and encouraged by shermans precedent. The logic of saving lives in the long run by these tactics seems to have been refuted by history. Finally if you scroll through this entry, the words related to general william t. Sherma
Day before, in which johnston himself reported to the confederate government that he had 55,000 men present for duty. I dont know what happened to those 12,000 men on the night of april 30thmay 1st. Mass desertion. Who knew. Maybe the radioactive atomic cloud got there and wiped out 12 thousand of his men. Or the question of casualties. Johnston had his medical director, johnston lost according to his medical director 9,972 men killed and wounded in his infantry and artillery in may and june. Historians have taken that up. And said johnston lost 9,972 men and they ignore those qualifications. Killed and wounded. Infantry and artillery, may and june. What about prisoners . What about men lost to sickness during the retreat . One time, johnston said he was losing 300 men a day to sickness. What about deserters . Hood said johnston lost 22,750 men.
