Yuropean here

As the quotes in this thread have shown, he disliked war so much that he was willing to wage it to it's most horrific ends.

I believe most revolutionary-minded people here could not find a better role model in the ideologies of waging war.

Replace 'rebels' with 'capital holders' and Trotsky or Rosa could have said it.

This quote should be in the national anthem for Holla Forums

He just sounds like a typical warmonger with a bloodlust

That he's being worshipped here says a lot

Piece of shit

You clearly do not understand Sherman. He absolutely hated war, but he prosecuted it mercilessly against the people who started it both that it might be ended quickly and to mete justice. The only way to truly conclude a war is for one side to annihilate the other. Dialectical as fuck.

lmao I pointed out someone from before 1945 was a racist again XDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Fucking based.

It's inhuman as fuck. Sherman was just a typical bourgeois militarist.

Speak for yourself. John Brown was worth a million of this Sherman cunt.

Although I respect Brown the fact that he wasn't Brown doesn't undermine Sherman's achievements at all. He did more for black people and leftism then a thousand fucking little "professional allies" like Tim Wise ever will.

Not everyone from the past had the benefit of reddit and tumblr to teach them how evil white people were.

Are we going to pretend Sherman's March didn't result in the widespread suffering of both black and white people? Ending slavery was 100% good and necessary, but fucking the southern economy and ultimately not foreal ending slavery by imprisoning black people isn't something to take pride in. Even without formal slavery the end result was still the same on most plantations with black farm workers being too poor to move. Ironically the standard of living for black people was better off before the civil war for many years afterwards because the economy was so fucked. There is also the widespread suffering poor whites had to endure which, by the way, were not all slave owners. The Union leaders didn't end slavery out of the goodness of their hearts and people fetishizing Sherman, while not as bad as retarded Confederate fanboys, are human trash.

Are we all just going to ignore the pow-wow dancing elephant that is Sherman's genocidal campaign against the American Indians? Would anyone like to mention it without the "but it was muh brutal 19th century" excuse?

Revisionists:
The Southern Generals were geniuses though! We only lost because of a lack of resources.

Reality:
Retarded generals having horses run at machine guns.

Leaving stock piles of supplies to your enemies.

Attacking the strongest part of the union while your back end is unprotected.

Think slaves will still just say "yes masta" when they see the union boys win a fight.

Letting Jackson die. Letting Pickett be in charge of anything…

I tried to give the revisionists their due and see things from their perspective but the south made every military mistake possible.

Most slave owners were jewish you anti-semitic Holla Forumstard. What you're suggesting would literally be a second holocaust.

Whites aren't evil. Racists are scum though. Always have been, always will be.

that and a few other things
-fuck all industry
-fuck all infrastructure
-blockades
it was doomed to fail from the start.

Whites are evil. Every evil in history has been perpetuated by whites. All whites must die.

...

I am completely serious. Every major atrocity has been perpetuated by whites or Asians. They are scum and must be killed. Only jews and blacks are human, cracker scum.

There's a reason pol does this. It's because they use the same reasoning on the Jews, and figure if whites accept this kind of """logic""" as valid, all they then basically have to do is redpill them on the JQ and bam, butthurt white nationalism. Then all the edgy PoC larpers won't be laughing.

Wrong cracker. You cracker ass crackers need to get hung smdfdh tbqfh.

Damn that's just an obvious false-flag. It's almost like someone is upset because we hit a nerve recently :^)

Hrmmm…

Jews be fuckin based as fuck fam smh you aint woke at all fam. Once jews get rid of whitey world'll be better place tbqfah.

lel you're not even trying. Is this the quality of Holla Forums's shock troops these days?

Or maybe you kikes can fuck off and just let us worship nature like we used to. The Indian wars were a war on human nature, and you better believe the Jews profited.

Well, porky rather, but my point still stands. Y'all chose capitalism over the human spirit.

let me tell u summin craka we neva did dun worship natur

when witey was livin in straw huts an shit we wuz buildin pyramids and going to other galaxies we wuz gods an shiet we wuz kangz and quaanz and shiet and we dun did dun natur u holla

Put back your succdem flag, faggot.

memes for the meme god

Most military leaders are honestly terrible, tho.
This should not surprise, as the primary purpose of any army is to serve as a giant machine that takes in fresh linens, bread, armor, weapons, horses, and produces torn sheets, shit, and scrap metal. Any fighting an army does is mostly accidental, and wars are only ever lost by the person who was more incompetent. This is why some of the greatest commanders in history (from Wallace to Washington to Mao) are defined by the extent to which they avoided major battles and let their enemy bleed himself to death.

Cotton is their number 1 export.

Not enough confederate uniforms for soldiers…

Anarchists, not even once.

you can't make clothing out of just equipment and buttons you double nigger, cotton is the base for it.

The Civil War was not about slavery. Sherman was just doing what porky was telling him to do.

Nice try Holla Forumsyp. Slavery was an evil evil thing created by the porkies in the confederacy. The union was based.

Agreed. However the North didn't free any slaves until well until the war. The war was first and foremost about trade/general economics. Porkies on both sides were fighting it out.

I thought Holla Forums was pro southren?

We're for Cleetus and Jamal, not the guy from Django Unchained.

why the fuck would that be

General consensus is that the North was bad but the South was far, far worse. The Civil War was the dying gasp of an obsolete mode of production.

would we be better off today if all white southerners had been forced to relocate to the north after the civil war

HISTORICAL

We would be better off if Reconstruction hadn't been abandoned to please the eternal porky.

Two words: Historical materialism.

This. Fuck Andrew Johnson and his Copperheaded allies.

...

The North didn't care about slavery. They were mad about having to essentially subsidize a economically backwards society. The North was just as racist as the South. Pic related (and those like him) were the only white people who actually cared.

Even Prager U acknowledges that it was.

We support Tyrone and Cletus, not John Candy m8.

While he himself was a racist, he should have wiped out the south.

Absolutely destroying the souths economy was nesscary.

All the negative effects you cite were fucks up of the reconstruction. If Sherman didn't do what he did the war would have dragged on the the souths porkies would have probably remained around in some form for generations

How is that socdem?

I like him because he smashed those secessionists hard and made sure that they never THINK about seceding EVER again.

The Confederacy ironically did nothing for state's rights since they didn't even allow secession amongst their ranks. (Its Constitution is basically a copy of the US Constitution as well)

Also, Sherman BTFO'd the Indians. And, the one sad thing is that he isn't around today to do the same to those fucking black nationalists and the scumbags collectively known as the "black community". BURN THEIR FUCKING HOMES DOWN! THE UNION WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES! E PLURIBUS UNUM! THE DAY OF THE TORCH APPROACHES!

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

He also left a ton of niggers to drown when they were too much of a burden.

...

A FUCKING SNAKE.

you have mental problems

I'd fight for Sherman's army tbh

wow how dialectical

Don't forget /our guy/ August willich
