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."
