but sherman becomes the great villain. they said that sherman, grant defeated an army. but sherman killed a culture. there's something in terms of that as the scale. sheridan has got the shenandoah valley. you've got all of this from atlanta to saf gnaw and back up to south carolina. south carolina, i think, the images of sherman's march, the georgia thing. but south carolina still remembered it, too. >> a lot of what we know today about it is filtered through movies and books. probably the thing that popularized sherman's march the most was "gone with the wind." both the movie and the book. it presented sherman as the wind that came through that destroyed the culture. it gets back to what caudle and ashdown said, it's sherman that destroys the culture and that

sherman comes to represent. from their argument is that sherman comes to represent everything that's the antithesis of the cavalier society. it's the industrial north. it's not roamant sizing war in any way. it's doing what has to be done in order to destroy and to win on a grand sort of scale, and as coddle and ashdown said, grant killed a lot more people, a lot more than sherman did, but sherman becomes the great villain because they said that sherman -- grant defeated an army, but sherman killed a culture, and so there was something in that in the scale of it for one thing and sheridan's got the shenandoah valley and we have atlanta to savannah and south carolina. the images of sherman's march, the georgia thing, but south carolina still remembered it, too. a lot of what we know today about it is filtered through movies and books, and it probably, the thing that popularized sherman's march the most was "gone with the wind" both the movie and the book and it presented sherman as the wind that came through that

sherman, still wiping up the south. and it comes with a dispenser, so every time you tear a piece of the paper off, it plays "dixie." that just gives you some idea of the fame of general sherman. indeed with the populous of general e. lee, there is no man known more to georgia. what i would like to do during the time that's been allotted to me this often is cut through some of the myths, the folklore to the march to the sea. to that end i'm going to attempt to answer three broad questions about the man, the march, and the memory. the man, the march, and the memory. first question, who was sherman and what were his reasons and motivation for waging what has come to be called hard war? secondly, what was the nature and impact of the march to the sea? how harsh was it and was it necessary? and thirdly, what is the legacy of sherman and the march to the sea in modern america? what influence did he and the march have and what can we learn from the plan and his march? so let's start with the man. not surprisingly, historians

sherman insane. and so, in january 1862, ellen traveled again on his behalf, this time to washington to ask the president of the united states for help in restoring her husband's reputation. that meeting was far more productive than jessie's had been in large part because of ellen's opinion of and attitude toward the president. sherman took president lincoln's advice, as ellen reported it to him, and soon was rising again in the ranks. again and again ellen asked cump if she could visit him in the field. he consistently refused until after the great union victory? vicksburg when he wrote that she and the children could come to his camp on the bank of the big black river. ever mindful of disease in those days like malaria, yellow fever and the typhoid that had killed his father, cump assured her in a letter, i have a healthy camp. and ellen took four of their six children with her to mississippi. the shermans, who had had been t for most of the previous two years, had a great time until grant ordered

>> you are talking about sherman. when willy sherman died, and willy sherman was his favorite son, there was no question about that. when he died, comp was utterly inconsolable. he wrote a tone deaf letter to his other son tom. what he was saying was that whatever you have, however much money you have, give half of it to the soldiers. he was trying to say you have to be willie because we have lost willie. it is a very heartbreaking moment because of course since he had told them he felt responsible for his son's death. >> microphone or i will shout it out again. >> thank you very much. which of the wives did you find the most amount of research material to help you in this effort? and which was the most difficult? >> most of the women kept their husband's letter. most of the husbands didn't keep the letters because they were in the field or they would destroy them and couldn't be saved. william saved all of his wife's letter. when he marched off to bull run at first he wrote a letter saying i will tear every letter up

they ordered sherman to relieve the siege. as the sherman's left it became clear that their youngest son was not well. almost as soon as their boat the boat arrived in memphis the young boy died. probably of typhoid. that was the last time that they traveled to be during the war. and buried her son and soon her mother too. while they were from chattanooga cell. ellen who have become pregnant for another son her seventh child before they fell and began the march. cut off from communication along the way he did not learn that baby charles sermon died on the fourth until he arrived in savannah at the end of december and what -- read about it in the newspaper. for the rest of the war ellen and her children divided their time where they were in school. except for a trip to chicago to take part in the catholic church fundraising for soldiers medical needs. ellen was a devout catholic her whole life and has often been accused of putting her faith ahead of her country enter husband. that is not true. let me read a bit from the last ch

from their argument sherman comes to represent everything

when willie sherman died -- and he was his favoritso

sherman: choose to go to brooklyn. mayor deblasio: i do. mr. sherman: why? mayor deblasio: a lot of things -- the connection i have to my neighborhood is strong -- you think about the human reality -- it is where our children were born, i coached little league there -- the hope -- this is where our life took its shape. it is what i feel connected to. i think all of us, as elected officials, need that touchstone. when you drift from where you come from, it is part of what isolates you from everyday people. it is that -- i can go to the gym, and nobody bothers me, because they're the same people and working out with for a decade. it is like "cheers" but in a gym. they don't do beer. -- i all of those factors think in this kind of -- the potential bubble of public office is very dangerous, and you have to find your grounding. n,u also have to find your ze whether it is exercise, or whatever it is that keeps you study and clear. being in the reminds us of where we came from -- in the neighborhood reminds me of where we came from and why i do the work. mr. allen:

what sherman did to us and things like that. and basically i said, well, sherman gave you break because he didn't go around killing people. very few deaths involved in his march. and the same thing is true of sheridan. there were sprinklings of minor skirmishes, basically go in and destroy the infrastructure. that's called hard war. many of the tens of thousands of deserters from lee's army were people who in good faith went home because they felt a greater responsibility to their wives and children than they did to what was left of the confederate cause in 1864 and 1865. >> thank you. >> sir? >> i want to follow up in a way. i think the morale issue is something germane. you depicted very well, i think, the reasons for the myth. it was all very reasonable. when you get into this notion of morale and mindset and the other factors that did exist in the south that helped propagate the myth, i mean, they lost. they were ravaged not just by the war but by reconstruction. there was this endemic poverty. there was a romantic ideal to

sherman knows this. he realizes this. consider theally possibility of veering off course or sending some men that way because we talked about his march, he is focused on what is ahead of him, getting to the sea, and bringing the war to an end closer. the idea that sherman could have averted the horrors of or alleviated suffering, i don't think it would have made much of a difference by that point. were these prisons, not only andersonville but the northern ones, why were they overcrowded? that is the key question understand about why things were so bad at andersonville. the collapseo with of the prisoner exchange system. the prisoner -- when the war began it is convention to have a prisoner exchange among officers and for larger groups. there was a formal exchange. we have a group of our guys. they simply exchange them and would go back to fight, although they weren't supposed to. you are taking men out of your fighting force to work as guards and policeman. it is not ideal to have large pows.s of io w's -- that is the wa

stephanie sherman has led to for years. it is a family business. bringing hollywood's ideas to life in canyon country. sherman and her friend were here last night when the sand fire left its mark. >> became down like a fireball. >> reporter: all crews battled to keep the flames away they could not help but drive-by and remember. remember the farm in green we and the fox reality show utopia? it is ashes. the cabin where the contestants stayed is destroyed. >> it was beautiful. >> reporter: this is what is left of a cabinet was built more than a decade ago. as you can see it has gone. the rolling hills that the set the scene for wipeout are now barren. the 500 acre studio ranch has been at black -- backdrop are many movies. despite the loss work is at the ranch and firefighters were able to save a lot including the animals the offices and sherman sam. -- sherman's home. >> this is going to be years. >> reporter: leaving everyone here wishing the magic of hollywood that made it to bring it back to life. >>> a wolverine was spotted and is likely the sa

south carolina, i think, the images of sherman's march, the georgia thing. but south carolina still remembered it, too. >> a lot of what we know today about it is filtered through movies and books. probably the thing that popularized sherman's march the most was "gone with the wind." both the movie and the book. it presented sherman as the wind that came through that destroyed the culture. it gets back to what caudle and ashdown said, it's sherman that destroys the culture and that becomes that, i think the term they use was the wind. this wire and wind that came through georgia. sarah reuben made an interesting point about the destruction itself. i thought it was interesting, i left it out of my talk. she said we have the sense of the march to the sea as being the giant tidal wave this tsunami. 60 miles across from one end to the other as it goes out to the sea. she said in reality it was more like fingers of destruction. stitches through the landscape. because the army was advancing down roads. and most places they stayed a day. if that much. so the destru

. >> sherman and marr did not get along at all. here's what happened. the irish could fight and did fight, and they quickly became known as one of the best units in the war. robert e. lee on the other side, on is slave holders side said famously here comes those damn green flags again. [laughter] and every time they saw it, they knew they were in for a hell of a fight. they preferred to fight up close, just pure savagery. sometimes it was hand-to-hand combat as opposed to fighting long. but marr called sherman an envenomed martinet. [laughter] he had the gift of gab. sometimes it got ahead of him. [laughter] and sherman saw this quote in the newspapers and never forgot about it. sherman later wrote: i have the irish brigade, thank god they can fight. but he couldn't stand the irish at all. one of the things was culture. you have to understand that between battles the irish would stage these massive festivals. while they're at war, they would have steeplechase races, they would have theater, they would have -- they would play their

sherman knew this. he realizes this. so he does not really consider the possibility of veering off his course or sending his men this way. march,ed about sherman's he is very focused on what is ahead of him and getting to the sea, and ultimately bringing the war to an end. so the idea that sherman could have averted the horrors of andersonville or alleviated union suffering their, i don't think that because of the timeline, it would've made much of a difference at that point. were these prisons, not only andersonville, but the only soother ones, why were they crowded? that is the key to understanding why the conditions were so bad at andersonville. collapseto do with the of the prisoner exchange system. when the war began, it is convention to have a prisoner exchange, particularly among officers but also for larger groups of enlisted men. was would often happen, it an informal exchange. guys, wea group of our have a group of your guys. they were not supposed to go back into the armies, but they did. they would simply exc

and sherman knows this. he realizes this. so, he doesn't really consider the possibility of veering off course, or sending some of his men that way. because we talked about his march, he is focused on what is ahead of him, getting to the sea, and bringing the war to an end closer. so, the idea that sherman could have averted the horrors of andersonville or alleviated , suffering, i don't think it would have made much of a difference by that point. so, why were these prisons, not only andersonville but the , northern ones, why were they overcrowded? questions to understanding why the conditions were so bad at andersonville and the other prisoner of war camps, i think. that had to do with the collapse of the prisoner exchange system. began, it is sort of convention to have a prisoner exchange, particularly among officers and for larger groups of enlisted men. what would often happen, it was an informal exchange. we have a group of our guys. you have a group of our guys. you would simply exchange them, and then go back to fight,

you have sherman somewhere outside of atlanta get people did not know that maybe in 10 days from august 23, that atlanta would fall but he was bogged down in georgia and there is no resolution to this. and grant is in petersburg but that seemed to be endless, too. more casualties mounted up. also, though, in june, before grant would cross the river, robert e. lee made a decision. this is the man who in 1862 took command of the army of northern virginia. he had already formulated a strategic decision. he realized that the confederacy cannot sit there and wait because ultimately, lincoln probably find somebody who will unsheathe that sort of northern power and he is going to crash the confederacy so you have to take chances. what happened in the spring of 1864 -- and lee also understood -- you can read his writing -- he knew what was at stake. what was at stake was a presidential reelection in the north. because the south folks cannot win do a military victory in the civil war. the only way the south could achieve independence was to bring the northern administration to the negotiating ta

and would someone read the sherman statement. i have to remember what former president eisenhower said to me on the golf course one day. he said it was a statement that sherman shouldn't have made. >> humorous answer. the point is, it was not really discussing sherman's but he got the advice directly from dwight eisenhower. well, eisenhower knew that in six months -- seven months was going to be the republican convention. it was very interesting newspaper magazine interview was published. the reporter met with supposed -- supposedly with ike's golf buddy. i believe this was dwight eisenhower himself and not a golf buddy. those of you who know eisenhower history know about his hidden hand techniques from professor fred greenstein of princeton university, that he had a number of press conferences that to the press seemed quite -- he seemed confused but he purposefully directed that confusion to throw the press off course. and he did not want it known who he truly would support but he told the reporter romney was a man in a panic. t

i mean sherman's order was to destroy certain types of property. i think the same thing, as you pointed out, sheridan and the valley. it's interesting, the myths continue in both places as to what was destroyed. a very distinguished historian, bud, you and i know, was telling me about the fact that he was with a group of people and a meeting like this and this man swore that every mill in the shenandoah valley had been burned. after the program was over with, this historian said where are we going to eat tonight? this guy said oh, we're going to this wonderful restaurant in this restored mill, this mill that's been converted, civil war era mill that's been converted into a restaurant. so there's, there is this image that again that everything gets wined out and destroyed. i don't know in terms of differences there. because sherm-set out, these were orders to destroy as well. grant knew what was going on. all of this happened with his full consent. we have this image of sherman as a lunatic that convinced 60,000 people to go on a binge of destructio

sherman and mr. adams are debating in song about who should write the declaration of independence. and they give it to thomas jefferson. "i do not know a participle from a predicate. i am a simple cobbler from connecticut." one of the great lines of all times. he was coming up with constitutional compromises. and the connecticut compromise, my goodness. look, he looks so stern. but impressive. how could you resist a gaze like that? roger sherman's compromise was to blend the virginia and new jersey plans and propose a system we have today where we have a bicameral legislation of -- legislature. every state has two votes in the senate regardless of how big it is. the house of representatives has -- which is apportioned by population. so that beautiful compromise which allow the constitution to be passed is just one example of the incredible pragmatism of the delegates. i mentioned the spirit of moderation and compromise being so central to madison's achievement. these men were not ideologues. they had strong views, which they were not willing to compromise in some cases and ultimate

southerners sherman engaged in an 80 mile campaign. two months of rather cautious maneuvering found the union army in front of atlanta, and seemingly intent to stay there, while the southern army underwent a change in leadership. union efforts in virginia were more complicated and far more bloody. but for a time, the end result seemed just as empty. union generals were driven in flight from the shenandoah valley, thereby relieving pressure in that vital region. benjamin butler cemented his incompetence as a field commander by getting his army of the james hopelessly isolated. the widely heralded grant was soundly defeated in the wilderness, being back in pennsylvania, and almost massacred. managed to slip across the james. 100 mile overland campaign contained the most casualties of the war. northern morale plummeted. they denounced the grant as a bullheaded butcher, sacrificing the army to no purpose. they declared, patriotism is played out. we are gone. another union official proclaimed, "each hour is sinking us deeper into bankruptcy

when sherman -- you know that in september of 1864 sherman takes atlanta, which is an amazing prize for the united states army. it essentially seals the election for lincoln. he then marches his troops after waiting for a little while, he marches to savannah, takes savannah just before christmas, offers the city as a gift to his president, who had been newly elected, newly reelected to the presidency. and from there he starts marching up and to south carolina. and eventually to north carolina. when he gets to columbia the city burns. a lot of it turns -- burns. it's not clear who set the fire. what is clear is not much was left of south carolina's capital. historians think today that whatever happened with that, it is clear sherman's troops did not really like the landscape or the people that they encountered in south carolina. they vented as they marched through it. all that said, what we have is a pattern of a great deal of violence against military and economic targets. and we have a pattern of relative restraint against cold -- cultural heritage, the cultural heritage of the south.

what sherman did to us. and things like that. and basically, i said, well, sherman gave you a break, because he didn't go around killing people. i mean very few deaths involved in his march. and the same thing was true of sheridan. so there were sprinklings of minor skirmishes. but basically we're talking about go in and destroy the enemy infrastructure and that's called hard war. the morale of the south plummeted as a result of what sherman was doing and many of the tens of thousands of desserters from lee's army were people who, in good faith, went home because they felt a greater responsibility to their wives and children than they did to what was left of the confederate cause in 1864 and 1865. >> i want to follow up in a way. i think the morale issue is something germane. you depicted i think very well reasons for the myth. it was all very reasonable. but when you get into this notion of morale and mindset and the other factors that did exist in the south that helped propagate the myth, i mean, they lost. they were ravaged, n

a new article by gabriel sherman raises questions about what other executives might have known. news staffer says she was psychologically tortured by ailes for over 20 years. ailes then wished her well. but the question is increasingly being asked, did fox news foster a culture of secreciry around ailes maybe even covering up these allegations of harassment. and what did roger murdock possibly know about this.
