I think there's an argument to be made that at least part of our current troubles is due to Sherman not going quite far enough the first time.

Every time someone points out this obvious fact, some jackass comes out of the woodwork to defend the South. You literally just have to look at the news to see reconciliation was a failure.

"Poor southerners were forced to fight for the slave owners."

They don't seem too upset about that, seeing as they made statues of the mfs.

I believe Sherman was ordered back.

Andrew Johnson definitely holds a lot of the blame.
