Will we ever see a movie of General "Dixie Killer" Sherman?

Will we ever see a movie of General "Dixie Killer" Sherman?

Probably about the same time we see a Nathan Bedford Forrest one.

I don't see why not Hollywood loves hating the south

Yeah, I'm sure he killed plenty of dix.

Andrew Jackson epic when?

Hitler redemption story when?

Sounds pretty boring. How many ways can you shoot a scene of soldiers burning down a farm?

Waaaaaah. It's Hollywood that made us all fat, uneducated, jesus freaks!!!! Why won't they leave us alone? Waaaaaaah

Plebe with no imagination

He killed Natives

Cool.

Sherman wasn't this heartless Dixie murdering psychopath history books make him out to be.

Looks like Fassbender

He was in fact psychopathic. Not murderous, but suffered from legitimately diagnosable mental problems .

actually watching Ken Burn's civil war as i write this

Nathan Bedford Forrest conformed greatest american in history

> Sherman, it is reported, considered him "the most remarkable man our civil war produced on either side." He was unquestionably one of the Civil War's most brilliant tacticians. Without military education or training, he became the scourge of Grant, Sherman, and almost every other Union general who fought in Tennessee, Alabama, or Kentucky. Forrest fought by simple rules: he maintained that "war means fighting and fighting means killing" and that the way to win was "to get there first with the most men."

>ywn kill hordes of yankees alongside Nasty Nate

Life is pain

Nah he's a POS like all southern scum

Does Gone With The Wind count? As a strong cameo, maybe?

If so, I think Cold Mountain might too? Haven't seen it though.

he suffered from 'melancholy', what is now known as depression. I would to if everyone around me was a complete fucking idiot, that did nothing but hold me down. He was one of like five people to say the war would cost more than 300,000 casualties, and almost put into the insane asylum because of his statements.

Motherfucker was so smart he's considered the first 'modern general' because of his attitudes about destroying civilian production. Its been standard procedure ever since

>southerners butthurt about Sherman
Maybe the South should have surrendered sooner instead of housing and supplying the losing side while the war was being fought on their front porches. They were helping the enemy, therefore they were enemies of the United States.

Sherman wasnt a sociopath cause he didn't kill humans

yankee faggots eternally BTFO!!

Based Southern Gentleman detected

Didn't Sherman kill a bunch of Indians after that though?

Now, my friends, I know there are parties who denounce me as inhuman. I appeal to you if I have not always been kind and considerate to you. [Cheers.] I care not what they say. [Bully for you and cheers.] I say that it ceased to be our duty to guard their cities any longer, and had I gone on stringing out my column, little by little, some of your Illinois regiments would not have come home, but would have been crushed. Therefore I determined to go through their country, and so I took one army myself and gave my friend George Thomas the other, and we whaled away with both. [Loud cheers.] Therefore we destroyed Atlanta, and if we had destroyed all the cities of the South in order to bring about the result in view it would have been right. [Loud cheers.]

The course we pursued did produce the desired result, and now, ladies, you see your young friends returned to you, wives see their husbands-- all reunited in this beautiful grove in Illinois, and God knows, I hope you will never be sent forth again; but if you are, I know you will respond more promptly than you did before. [Loud cheers.]

As to the future, I have been over all that part of the country which is assigned to me, and I have never yet, at any period of our history, seen the country looking so prosperous, the grain growing so luxuriantly, and the people so well contented and happy, the table so bountifully spread; and all this, too, out on the plains of Kansas where, six years ago, it required an escort of three hundred men to guard an officer sent to pay off a garrison. Now I can go, and anybody can go with a single horse a way out to the limits of Kansas, or even to Colorado, without an escort, and that too at the close of a long and terrible war. So that I say that we are progressing to the end we have in view, and that whether the politicians, whether the statesmen, I will call them, the judges and lawyers, will adopt a policy to produce the desired result, I don't know and don't much care, because it will be done anyhow. [Laughter and cheers.] I say if the farmers, mechanics and businessmen will go on and attend to their own business the people of Missouri will do the same. Iowa the same, and so it will be all over the Western and Northern country, and politicians will be compelled to adapt their policy to this end--and that is the true end, namely, the great prosperity of our country.

Therefore it is unnecessary to even allude to the position in which our national affairs are placed, for I do not pretend to comprehend or understand them. It is not my task; but it is my task to see that the forces placed at my disposal to put down opposition to the laws quickly and forever, do their duty. [Cheers.] Whenever the United States Marshal comes to me and tells me that his power is resisted, and he has not sufficient civil force to execute the laws, if I have soldiers I will go to his assistance and see that the laws are enforced.

cont.>

And my friends, if that rule is carried out in the land, if the laws of Congress are to be enforced wherever this flag floats, then in truth are we a nation to all intents and purposes, at home and abroad.

I have also had occasion to meet with a great many foreigners of late and I tell you they have a great deal of respect for us; far more than they did five years ago, and they have reason to. At the same time I believe the policy that General Washington laid down is the true one, not to interfere with other people. We have plenty to do ourselves, at home. [We?] have land enough in all [causes?] level land, mountain land [?] for that three hundred millions of people. [?] All the riches of the [?]. Therefore, I hope we will never be jealous of our neighbors' prosperity, and that our people will not become involved with any foreign nations; but when it becomes necessary to assert our authority with foreign nations, let Congress and the Executive do it by due course of law, and then it becomes our right and not before. [Cheers.] Now, fellow soldiers, I have spoken longer than I could wish, but I beg you would consider it as a measure of my love for the old army. I do not believe you realize or understand the feeling which I had for you, as you left all behind you and followed me blindly, not knowing what was transpiring in my mind--followed me in my long and devious career without asking any questions--cheerfully and well. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, because then you were serving your country. You realize it now--you and I surviving. I did not expect to survive the war, but I have survived it, and you have survived it, and now from the bottom of my heart I thank you for that cheerful performance of your duty-- noble and manly endurance which at last caused the clouds of war to vanish, and enable our flag to float triumphantly over our whole land.

His attitudes about destroying civilian production were more akin to that of a mongol general that todays generals. All he did was burn farms and sack cities. That shits as old as time.

He was a proponent of reconciliation and gave flowers to a negress after the war.

He enacted total war in a time of gentlemen soldiers

Sherman just fought the southerners at their level

The rebs were brutals savages who would rape woman, steal, shoot men in the back, kill men who were surrendering and sodomize union corpses

>tfw no march to the sea kino

>The rebs were brutals savages who would rape woman, steal, shoot men in the back, kill men who were surrendering and sodomize union corpses

You sound like a kike kvetching about the Lolocaust.

>southerners butthurt about Sherman

Why do yankee faggots think this? I've never met a single person in my life with any strong opinion on Sherman.
