Sherman’s March To The Sea – Saving America By Destroying A Rebellion

Sherman’s March To The Sea – Saving America By Destroying A Rebellion

No military action in the bloody Civil War was probably more controversial than Sherman’s March To The Sea. After the War, traitors who were inclined to respect Grant and revere Lincoln were unreconstructed in their hatred of William T. Sherman. Why? The brutal, unprecedented destruction of enormous swaths of the South hastened the end of the War and sped the end of the barbarous,immoral and inhumane practice of the enslavement, rape and murder of the descendants of kidnap victims. Sherman hastened the demise of that unspeakable activity. However the utter desolation of the lives and lands of so many White Southerners had a long-lasting impact on race relations and politics.

Sherman was a complex man, brilliant and fragile, harsh and yet sentimental. His troops adored him, leaders of the terrorist rebellion feared him and Abraham Lincoln recognized his invaluable patriotic service to our nation. In this fast paced and constantly fascinating multimedia presentation, we will learn how Gen. William Sherman and his troops easily crushed the army of traitors who stood in their way – in the process making military history and helping save the republic. Add to that his friendship with General Grant, his deep respect for President Lincoln, his amazing life after the war – they all  make for a compelling and fascinating history presentation!
