Why did US General Sherman believe that General US Grant was a victim of public opinion at Vicksburg?
ChuckSiata
General Sherman wrote about his reasons of concern for his friend US Grant at the Siege of Vicksburg. Sherman believed that Grant was working and hampered by Northern public opinion. So much so that Sherman feared Grant would abandon the effort to capture Vicksburg.

Were General William Sherman's war tactics inhumane?
the best answer for this question in my opinion is another question, when an animal is injured beyond recovery, should you leave it to suffer or should you end it's suffering quickly? Men were dying at a rate never seen before in warfare so I believe Gen. Sherman's actions were warranted by circumstances.

Was William Tecumseh Sherman Crazy?
No, but during 1861-62 there were a series of newspaper articles stating that General Sherman was "crazy" and "insane".Sherman disliked newpaper reporters, considered them to be spies, and banned them from observing his troops. Secretary of War Simon Cameron took an opposite approach, seeking approval from the press by furnishing them with detailed information about Union (Federal) military operations. In a report to the New York Times, Cameron indicated that Sherman had requested 200,000 troops, which Cameron considered a "crazy" request. The Times and other papers, angry at the way Sherman treated them, jumped on the remark and for months ran articles accusing Sherman of insanity. Under the pressures of his command and the barrage of newspaper criticism, Sherman did suffer depression and a possible nervous breakdown. He was given a 20-day leave by his immediate commander General Halleck, who indicated that in his opinion Sherman was temporarily worn out from his duties and merely needed some time to rest. Sherman returned from that leave rejuvenated, and went on to serve as one of the Union's most successful and respected generals. The following link is an American Heritage Magazine article on the subject, prepared and edited by knowledgable historians.

What was Confederate General PT Beauregard's plan for defending the West?
In May of 1863, Confederate General PT Beauregard believed that the West was best protected by preparing for major offensives in Tennessee and Kentucky. This would relieve pressure on Vicksburg and the Mississippi River. Such an offensive would draw General US Grant to contend with this threat. Whatever the merits of Beauregard's Western strategy, General Johnston did not propose a bold offensive to President Davis. Johnston was of the opinion that defensive strategies were the priority for Middle Tennessee.
