I had the good fortune to have a Korean War vet as a history teacher. Our textbooks contained only generalities about the Civil War, as most high school texts at the time did. But our teacher was great at pointing out the military strategies of both sides--to the extent they are known. He was especially interested in General Sherman and his march to the sea and told us some of what you included here. (Later a classmate was moved to name her new tomkitten General Sherman.)

Thanks for once again letting us know the details and especially for calling the confederates the insurrectionists that they were.
