      General Sherman was a union general during the American civil war. His approach to warfare was to a bit unconventional for the time - he focused on destroying the enemy’s infrastructure and supply lines and burned down nearly everything flammable he came across. It was very effective.

        Total War.

        Everyone was fair game in Sherman’s eyes.

        There were no innocent parties for belligerents and civilians were raided for food to supply Sherman’s army.
