he goes to see general mcpherson. they find him and put him on the ship and suddenly he is not feeling so well. by the time they get to memphis, he's pretty sick. he dies. he's very much of a religious individual too. sherman never gets over that. his wife never gets over that. there are letters between the two of them that are just so sad. it's hard to believe. charlie, the other son who really died at birth, sherman was gone. sherman was on his march to the sea. ellen was having the baby and the baby died. sherman never saw that child. because he never saw him, he never reacted like he did to illie. willie was his favorite. losing willie almost killed sherman. gen. petraeus: we mentioned a bit briefly about grant and drinking. of course sherman also drank. how did the two of them handle their liquor, if you will? john: sherman could drink. it didn't seem to bother him, most of the time. you don't see any references to sherman being drunk. you don't see any references to sherman not doing what he should do. whereas w

change over time and see a different outlook on the war these days than in previous days point to mcpherson's "battle cry of freedom," and talk about a struggle that involved suffering, injustice, with an ennobling consequence, emancipation. certainly those older works talked about the injustices and great deal of suffering that was caused. my contribution to a rethinking of the war is to look at the economy from a perspective of the middlemen, these labor agents who shaped that economy and some of the outcomes of the war. very often in economic terms, if you look at a macro economic level, we are talking about huge business firms coming into greater pervasiveness and prominence after the war, like railroads. and they are given some of the credit and blame for changing the economy afterwards. in looking at it from this individual microlevel, i want readers to understand that it is not just economic forces that are changing it, it is the actions of ambitious men who try to make the war's transformations work for them, because they believe in free labor ideology, and because they believe, they

but the florida supreme court was hamstrung, as pam said, by this mcpherson theory that legislature means only the legislature and it can't include the constitution of the state of florida, which guarantees the right to vote and can include any other processes. and i think it's interesting that just last term the supreme court decided a case out of arizona where they rejected the parallel meaning of legislature in the context of initiatives. so can you have an initiative in arizona that establishes a commission that would apply to congress, the court said, yes, legislature doesn't just mean legislature, it means the legislative process. and kennedy voted on that side, which i think is interesting. so what the florida supreme court should have done, but felt hamstrung from doing is establish a standard and say, a pregnant c.h.a.d., no, establishing a uniform rule. i don't know who would have won that. i think based on the data that there's a good chance that bush would have won that. but even so, i don't think the florida supreme court looks very good. i think they look just as ideological
