Some southerners rejected William Tecumseh Sherman because of his brutal "scorched earth" tactics during the Civil War, such as the March to the Sea where his troops destroyed property and infrastructure in Georgia. They saw his actions as unnecessarily harsh and destructive towards civilians. They viewed him as a symbol of the Union Army's aggression and victory over the Confederacy.
Some scholars reject the use of qiyas because they believe it involves human reasoning rather than relying solely on explicit textual sources like the Quran and Hadith. They argue that it has the potential to lead to misinterpretation and innovation in Islamic law. Additionally, they may view qiyas as contradicting the principle of divine revelation being the ultimate source of guidance in Islamic jurisprudence.
Some Songhai rulers did not reject Islam. Some rulers, like Sonni Ali, initially resisted the spread of Islam in their territories but eventually converted to Islam themselves. Other rulers, like Askia Muhammad, actively promoted Islam and made it the official religion of the Songhai Empire.
Like all people he accomplished some of his goals, and failed at others.One of his largest goals was to unite all Native Americans against the 'white man' and their invasion. Tecumseh realized that the 'white man' was a single unified force in that goal and would use any tool at their disposal to accomplish that goal. Without a unified resistance across all tribes, then the old rule of 'Divide and Conquer' would apply and the Native Americans would loose. History, of course, shows us that is what happened; and even today inter-tribal conflicts prevent tribes from asserting a unified front to enforce treaties.
Meriwether Lewis had numerous friends and associates throughout his life, but some key individuals included William Clark, Thomas Jefferson, and William Dunbar. William Clark was particularly close to Lewis, as they co-led the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition.
"A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong" "From my tribe I take nothing, I am the maker of my own fortune" "Let us form one body, one heart, and defend to the last warrior our country, our homes, our liberty, and the graves of our fathers" "Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart" "Show respect to all people, but grovel to none"

Some Southerners rejected William Tecumseh Sherman's plan to give land to former slaves, known as Special Field Orders No. 15, because they viewed it as an infringement on their property rights and a threat to their social and economic order. Many believed that land redistribution would undermine the agricultural system that relied on enslaved labor, leading to economic instability. Additionally, the idea of freed slaves owning land challenged deeply entrenched racial hierarchies and social norms in the South.
Some Southerners rejected William Tecumseh Sherman due to his harsh tactics during the Civil War, particularly his "March to the Sea," which devastated Southern infrastructure and morale. Additionally, the idea of giving land to former slaves, as proposed in Sherman's Special Field Order No. 15, represented a significant shift in social and economic power dynamics that many white Southerners opposed. They viewed this redistribution of land as a threat to their traditional way of life and an affront to their social order. Ultimately, this rejection was rooted in deep-seated racism and a desire to maintain control over the region's economic and social structures.
