Lincoln s Scorched Earth policy against the Southern people, civilians , caused homelessness and hunger and a broken economy not just for some years, but even in my time in the 1950's. Multitudes of Southerners, Black & White couldn't find enough jobs in the South to feed their families so during that time there was multitudes of Southerners making an exodus to Northern cities to work in factories and other trades just in order to feed their families better, and with the possibility of a little better life because , even then, the the destruction of the Southland and it's economy were still affecting them in a major way. We ended up in the inner city of Chicago, my old man working in factories where they at least had a chance . Of course in later years many of us returned to our Homeland to be with reunited with the families we had to leave behind. Yeah, this Scorched Earth Policy left horrendous effects on our People, when I say "Our People" , I mean ALL Southerners of different races. Lincoln and especially Sherman were no "heroes" or "Liberators" to me.

@ralphpezda6523 Yes, he was a guerrilla fighter and quite a scrapper with his fists , according what I've read about him. It's no wonder the Unionists Chiefs didn't think highly of him, they were his enemies ! ..lol. I like him mostly, because he was one of the last symbols of resistance, even if he had to do it in a Confederate uniform, against the federal government, who had previously, forced his Cherokee people, and other tribes, to walk the Trail of Tears. For that alone I'll always hold the Old Warrior in high esteem. Either way, he was a colorful character.
