No. William Tecumseh Sherman, the Union general known for his "March to the Sea" during the Civil War, lived for almost 30 years after the war ended in 1865. He died in New York City on February 14, 1891 at the age of 71.

Sherman is well remembered for two statements he made in his final years. In an 1880 speech, he referred to war as "all hell." And he ruled out an 1884 run as a Republican candidate for U.S. president by declaring, "I will not run if nominated and I will not serve if elected."
