I would personally answer no, but it is an opinion questions. While perhaps necessary to win the war, the was still unethical.
Unethical because:
-goals for the march included burning crops, killing livestock, and consuming supplies to demoralize the South.
- Sherman and Army wrecked miles of railroad, seized horses and mules, and confiscated millions of pounds of corn and fodder.
- brought civilians into the war/battle when it should have just been military vs military, and
caused soldiers to take advantage of the wide open instructions that Sherman had issued before the march.
