Did General Sherman die in battle?
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."

What was the famous words of US Civil War hero General Sherman when asked to run for president?
For the US presidential election of 1884, many Republicans believed that US Civil War hero, General William T. Sherman would be an excellent candidate. Sherman had recently retired from the military. When he learned of the movement to draft him into the 1884 presidential election he said these famous words: " If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve."These famous words live on in US politics.
Was William Tecumseh Sherman a good citizen?
This is a difficult question because the military service rendered by William Tecumseh Sherman was at the time and still is controversial at every phase of his career. He served in the Seminole War. He served in California at the time of the Bear Republic and the Mexican War. He was the commanding general in Texas along with General Sheridan fighting Plains Native Americans following the Civil War. Sherman's most famous command was his Civil War "March to the Sea" through Georgia to Savannah. Foraging soldiers from his army without discipline were known as "Sherman's bummers". Torn up railroad rails were heated and bent around telegraph poles as "Sherman bowties". Cities were fired either by his troops or by defeated Confederates pursuing a scorched earth policy retreating before an advancing army. Sherman is attributed with the first modern "total war" against civilian populations. His most prominent act of citizenship without controversy was his absolute refusal to accept the Republican nomination for President. He was so passionately hated throughout the South that any administration he might inaugurate could have brought widespread rebellion. He famously said in 1884, "If nominated, I will not accept. If elected, I will not serve."

Did Tecumseh win in the Battle of Tippecanoe?
Well, that is an interesting question. The leader of US forces was William Henry Harrison, but Tecumseh wasn't actually involved in the battle at all. His brother Tenskwatawa, a spiritual leader, was in charge while Tecumseh was out recruiting. He led a force to attack Harrison's forces, and was ultimately driven away, but Tecumseh rebuilt and continued to oppose the US, ultimately joining the British in the War of 1812.
Did William T sherman survive the Civil War if so what was his life after the war?
He was appointed General-in-Chief of the US Army, when Grant resigned in order ro run for President. Later, everyone wanted Sherman himself to run for President, but he refused. ("If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve.") Apart from that, he was mainly noted for trying to avoid brass bands that played 'While we were marching through Georgia'. Sherman did not think that his March to the Sea was the sort of campaign that merited triumphal celebration, and in any case he got heartily sick of that tune.
What has the author William Hastie written?

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.
