Excerpt from Lincoln as the South Should Know Him
Sherman long denied burning Columbia, in the most solemn manner calling his God to witness as to his truthfulness. When, after the over whelming evidence that he did burn it was adduced, he unblushingly admitted the fact, and that he had lied on Wade Hampton with the purpose of rendering him unpopular, and thereby weakening his cause. But a mere lie shines white against the black ground of Sherman's character.
I could pile up a mountain of facts as damning as those given. But what boots it to prove again what too long ago has been proven - that not Since Attila, The Scourge of God, cut his black swath across Europe fifteen hundred years ago has Sherman's March to the Sea had its fellow.
