Letter From Gen Sherman on War and Peace in Atlanta
A long excerpted letter from General Sherman discusses transferring Atlanta’s inhabitants to protect homes and urges peace through victory. It argues the Union must defeat rebels, condemns Confederate secession, and condemns Chicago democracy for war and coercion. It frames separation as ruinous, warns of future civil war, and defends a strong federal system against disunion proposals.
