William T. Sherman, was a (slightly crazed) civil war general. General Shermans original plan of destruction left whole cities burned to ashes as he and his regiment of over 60,000 soldiers marched through all the way to the sea. Williams plan was to burn every enemy city to ashes (after he told all civilians that were in the towns to turn tail and run for your life) until he reached the sea. When he reached the sea he headed for Bentonville and headed home.
General Sherman was a friend of another great general, General Ulysses S. Grant,who later became 18 president of the United States. Some people believed that their friendship is what won the civil war.
