What was the response from Union General William T Sherman when criticized for his actions in Atlanta?
ChuckSiata
Union General William T. Sherman was unfairly criticized when he captured Atlanta, Georgia. This was because he ordered the immediate evacuation of all civilians form the city. Sherman's response was in line with the humane side of himself. As he was sure that Confederate General John B. Hood would attack Sherman's forces in Atlanta, he responded that it would be better to not fight a battle in Atlanta and endanger the citizens there. This was a proper decision that he made at the time.
