 * My I am person 'William T. Sherman' was a general for the Union which he received recognition for his outstanding command of military strategy as well as criticism for the harshness of the policies that he implemented in conducting total war against the Confederate States. . He was born in Feb. 8, 1820 and died in Feb. 14, 1891. William Sherman was a American Soldier, businessman, educator and an author.
 * I already knew that he was a general for the Union.
 * That he conducted Total war and he made the march to sea.
 * I was wondering if he actually made the phrase "War is Hell" this is because some of the sites say that he didnt really made that phrase. While i was thinking about that question, he was a general for the Union but he made a phrase called "War is Hell" saying he hates war, so i am a little confused about this part, therefore i will focus more on this subject.

Historical Question: What motivated William Sherman to write the phrase "war is hell"?

Primary source:


 * " There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but boys, war is al hell."
 * "You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace."
