@bernardoohigginsvevo2974 Sherman didn't and he never claimed to refine it. Sherman and Grant's strategies were to win the war as quick as possible, and while other Union general's had been reluctant and retreated after battlefield defeats, Sherman and Grant marched on, aiming not to destroy the Southern Army, but destroy their means to fight and the Southern people's will to fight. Not that they purposely committed war crimes, but they destroyed factories, railroads and stole food, crops and horses. General Sherman said "You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will." And "Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster."
As Napoleon learned in Spain, war crimes against the population just spurs resistance. The people must be convinced not to fight, not join the resistance. Russia has failed this so far. Not only have they failed to convince the Ukrainian people that the war is lost and not worth fighting for, but they have also encouraged Ukrainians to join the resistance as they have (whether intentionally or accidentally) bombed civilian buildings. The US also failed in Iraq, not just when civilians were accidentally killed, but also when they disbanded Saddam's Army. Former soldiers now found themselves defeated, without a job, and in some cases, without a home to go back too. Saddam had repressed the Kurds and religious minorities, but virtually over night, the US had suddenly found itself with only the Kurds as their allies. Sorry, I went on a tangent.
