I am very familiar with that March, having had ancestors from Civil War era Georgia. Growing up in GA in the mid-late sixties there was still animosity to Sherman. But as ugly as it was, he did what he needed to do. The South capitulated within a few months.

But my point is both Sherman and Lincoln would be accused of war crimes in today's views no matter what the results or cause they were fighting for . This is a problem of the split we live in.
No, Imdontmthink they would, not both of them. In my opinion the ICC only charged both sides here to appear balanced and avoid a charge of bias against Israel. You donтАЩt see them charging Ukraine, do you? See my previous comment about the absurdity of charging both parties to a war with war crimes.

Years ago I recall reading of a guy who in his Will was the stipulation his land could not be sold to anyone with Sherman first or last name.
Then there is "Hail Columbia! Happy Land! If we don't burn you I'll be damned!"
About Columbia SC. BTW They Did...well pretty much.

Absolutely.
