Due to insufficient troops, the attack was unsuccessful and the war situation was deadlocked. After that, Grant's army began to attack. Unable to attack for a long time, with heavy casualties, the angry union army began to take it out on the civilians in the city. Grant ordered the destruction of all targets in Vicksburg! Hundreds of heavy artillery shells bombed the military facilities and houses in the city for several months, blowing all the buildings in Vicksburg to powder and countless innocent civilians were blown to pieces. 1In July, 863, the Union Army captured the strategic location of Vicksburg.

I just want to turn Georgia into hell! I just want all Georgians-men, women and children, rich and poor-to feel unforgettable pain! My legion will quickly destroy Georgia! If people think I am cruel, I will tell them that war is war, and the purpose of war is not to win people's favor! War is hell! If you want to stop all this and want peace, you and your loved ones should lay down their weapons and stop this battlefield! & gt 1864 autumn, Major General Sherman, who was appointed as the highest commander of the Western Front Army, led 65,438+million federal troops and 254 artillery pieces, defeated General John B. Hood of the Confederate Army, invaded Georgia, and occupied Atlanta, a major town in the south, in September 1 2004 without any resistance. & gt After the occupation, Sherman issued an announcement to local residents, demanding that all militiamen lay down their weapons and all citizens leave the city. After that, the northern army was ordered to set fire to the city before 5438+0 1 left on June. Thousands of old people and women resolutely refused to leave Atlanta to prevent the union army from burning down. They thought that as long as they were in the city, the union army would not dare to set fire to their lives. But they are so naive! When the officers and men of the Union Army were ready to set fire, the old man and women knelt on the ground, hugged the thighs of the Union Army soldiers, cried loudly and screamed at the top of their lungs, begging the soldiers to forgive their cities and homes for God's sake ... But the soldiers kicked them away and set fire to all the streets of the city. & gt The fire spread rapidly throughout the city, and the Union soldiers left the city safely and timely, regardless of the elderly and women. Poor thousands of old people and women, struggling and screaming in despair before the overwhelming fire, trampling on each other ... no one escaped from the fire. At the same time, the union army severely warned Atlanta residents who had evacuated the city that anyone who tried to put out the fire would be shot! The fire lasted for half a month. At night, the raging fire rises to more than 100 meters high, burning the whole sky like day, and you can see the red-hot sky 20 miles away from Atlanta. During the day, the huge smoke from the whole city covered the sky, making the 200-square-mile area around Atlanta like night ... Outside the city, countless frightened and desperate Atlanta residents watched their cities, homes and relatives being ruthlessly swallowed up by the fire, tearing their hearts out, stamping their feet and beating their chests, crying and shaking the earth ... The priests in Atlanta stood silently in front of the burning city, facing the flaming sky in despair, and kept crossing and praying for themselves. & gt General Sherman kept his promise-"I just want the whole state of Georgia to cry for it! I just want to make Georgia a hell on earth! I just want all Georgians-men, women and children, rich and poor-to feel unforgettable pain! My legion will quickly destroy Georgia! & gt Atlanta, once the most prosperous and beautiful city in the south, was completely destroyed after this catastrophe, leaving only one street to survive. This street has now become a historical symbol of Atlanta. It is called the underground street. The whole street is really underground. You have to take the elevator to get there. In other words, today's Atlanta is built on the original ruins! The old city was completely destroyed and buried underground. > general Sherman has a famous saying: we must remove and destroy all obstacles. as long as we think it is necessary, we will kill everyone, take away every inch of land and confiscate every property. In a word-ruthlessly destroy everything we see ... "> In Sherman's view, the attack on ordinary people in the south must be as thorough as the attack on the armed forces. Since Atlanta, although the situation of the northern army led by General Sherman has been fairly smooth, in order to completely scare off the south, he ordered the troops to burn down all the houses they met and kill all the rebellious livestock and people. 10, Sherman's army left Atlanta and began a year-long dehumanization of the south. & gt Sherman's troops marched 60 miles straight to the coastal city of Savannah. Almost leveled the passing place like a roller, and everything planted on the ground was completely destroyed. & gt While advancing all the way, his army completely destroyed all materials and facilities wherever it went, robbed civilians of food and property, killed rebellious civilians, burned farmland, bombed villages, blocked wells with lime, destroyed railways, robbed and expelled one town after another, and burned one town after another. Before Sherman's troops arrived, you could see flames spreading more than ten miles away. When Sherman's troops left, there were only charred soil and a few lonely smoking trunks on the ground. & gt 1864, 1864 On February 23rd, 1964, Sherman occupied Savannah, a famous southern port city, and sent a telegram to President Lincoln, saying it was a Christmas present for him.

It is impossible to count how many civilians died in the fire. & gt After that, General Sherman's troops began a journey south, burning all the way to Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston resisted stubbornly. Sherman shelled Charleston with hundreds of heavy guns, killing tens of thousands of civilians. When General Sherman occupied Charleston, it was in ruins. In this way, a city that has become a ruin, Sherman's army did not let go, and a fire broke out as usual. In the suburbs of Charleston, there are still piles of black rubble manor burned by the northern army. & gt The most serious loss was Confederate President Davis (hometown of Mississippi). Before the civil war, the state ranked fifth in the list of the richest people in the United States. During the civil war, 60% of the white youth in the state were killed, 90% of the towns and plantations were reduced to ashes, and the private property of civilians was completely lost. After the war, Mississippi not only ranked first in the poorest state in the United States, but also lasted for a century. & gt According to today's value, Sherman's mopping-up caused $2 trillion in property losses in the southern United States. Hundreds of thousands of civilians died directly from the famine caused by the looting of Sherman's army, and millions of people became refugees. Since the 30-year war, I'm afraid we have never seen such atrocities directed against civilians in the west. At that time, Confederate President Davis called it "Attila of America". Sherman's behavior completely broke the boundaries of the old war, and he expanded the war to all people. /kloc-for more than 0/00 years, the descendants of the people in the southern United States have been worried about the "Sherman Sweep" from generation to generation. Most of the officers and men killed in the American Civil War were buried, but the specifications of burial were completely different. It is said that all the bones of the northern army were buried by the Federation, and a monument was erected to commemorate it, engraved with the names and dates of birth and death of the deceased. Confederate troops were regarded as rebels, and their bodies were buried in the fields, and no one erected a monument. & gt the end of general Sherman >: 1866 Sherman was promoted to lieutenant general, and three years later he was promoted to general. As Grant's own man, he has always been with him. He succeeded Grant as commander-in-chief of the military administrative region in the western United States, and later took over as commander-in-chief of Grant's army. He retired on 1884. 189 1 year, died in 7 1 year. & gt Sherman has never said anything about his behavior in the south, such as repentance, apology or even regret. Before he died, he said, "I have nothing to repent and apologize for." What I have done is worthy of my conscience. There are many Americans who support Sherman's sweeping. " Sherman did exactly the right thing. The only way to end this war is to make the enemy feel horrible and unbearable. As for why General Sherman and his officers and men have a hard heart and can do such evil deeds to the people of the South, General Sherman hit the nail on the head: "I just want southerners and their descendants to learn an unforgettable lesson and never dare to be independent again!" Never dare to resort to war! "-he did it. & gt
