One
hundred fifty years ago today, William Tecumseh Sherman’s corps, which
had pulled back from in front of Atlanta — deceiving the Confederates
into believing that they were in retreat — were scything around south of
the city, cutting the rail lines. Hood’s army got away, but the victory
was nonetheless decisive, for political reasons: the fall of Atlanta
convinced voters that the war could and would be won, and Lincoln was
reelected.
I’ve written before about my U.S. Grant obsession;
Sherman, too. And the friendship between these two men — men who had no
illusions about war, who understood the modern world and did what had
to be done — is, to my mind, one of the great stories of American
history.
