The Fateful Lightning: Sherman's March To The Sea (Main Pic)

“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,

He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword

His truth is marching on.”

 

“It is enough to make the whole world start at the awful amount of death and destruction that now stalks abroad. I begin to regard the death and mangling of a couple thousand men as a small affair, a kind of morning dash, and it may be well that we become hardened. The worst of the war is not yet begun.”

 

-William Tecumseh Sherman

 

“I once thought that I had some respect for them, but now my respect is worn out, and I have no sympathy for slaveholders.”

 

-Spotswood Rice
