The South should have listened to him before the war. After the war, Sherman was responsible for slaughtering women, children, and the elderly in Native American villages during the US government campaigns in the West. The war in the South had to come to an end one way or another. What Sherman did was probably unnecessary. However the next generation of Southerners would not know the wealth of the region before the war. Reconstruction may have been easier without Sherman's march. Then again, the United States government would have faced gorilla warfare and rebellion throughout the South if the rebellious spirit had not been destroyed thoroughly. It is difficult to imagine how things could have been different. This is what happened. I grew up in the South, where they taught us that they had almost won the war. Many people in the South still romanticize about winning the war. But Sherman was right from the beginning. The South never stood a chance.
@@davidweum United Kingdom started the World Diversification of the raw cotton production with help of the North USA wheat-corn slurplus from 1858 three years before the Civil War. India became Crown Colony and one of the first measures was to increase the cotton production in India. The port city consulates of Egypt and the Ottoman (Turkye) Empire began to give free of charge cotton seed to the agriculture producers.
Governor Sam Houston of Texas warned at the beginning of the Civil War that he thought the south was fighting for a bad cause and would lose. They should have listened to him at least.
The Civil War decreased the food beckground for the South. Longer War meant less food for the civilians except for the West of Mississippi territories as Texas. Less food could have brought weaker immune system for the Southern people white and black alike for the illnessess. The gerilla Warfere was a very stupide idea: 1. The montenouse areas with less than 20-15% slaves were prounionist majority areas from North Arkansas to East Tennessee and other similar territories as North Georgia, Winston county area in Alabama, Jones county in Mississippi and etc. Here a USA Army + local prounionist ally fought against the proconfederate gerillas. The prounionism was bigger as the about 1890 lost cause school program brainwhashed and KKK ruled South learnt for the XXth Century. 2. The bigger % than 50-40% slaves populated areas would have been an USA Army + exslaves ally against the proconfederate gerillas. 3. Only the between 50-40 % and 20-15 % slave populated areas could have been a gerilla warfare for the proconfederates, however these areas would have been less food producers during any gerilla warfare (the warfare destroys the food basin) and the less food for the people could have brought weak immune system for the local civilian during 1-2years gerilla warfare. If Sherman had not started the Campaign to North Carolina. I think the longer Civil War would have produced about 1 million dead people instead of the 750 000 military and civilian death and majority of the about 205 000 slurplus dead people would have been from the South!

Nice One Keep up the Brilliant Work
The Indians referred to Sherman as "The Feitce Warrior General" and also his eyes also showed the eyes of a merciful man and as war weary man.

Hey do you have any books to recommend?
Sherman was a great man. They still hate him in Atlanta and Mississippi.
War is cruelty the curler we make the sooner it is over. Aka war is hell
America sawed off her own right arm.

The Confederate States had the 6th. largest economy in the world at the beginning of the Civil War.FYI.
The Confeferacy lost it's European market as both France & UK refused to support the Confederacy and remain neutral.
