Uh, John Brown's body Lies a 'muldering in the grave.
Thank the Union Army and U.S. Marines for dragging his ass in to face trial for taking over a U.S. Army outpost of Weapons storage, took George Washington's great nephew hostage, stole George Washington's pair of gloves and sword gifted to him by the likes of Lafayette and Frederick the Great,
and terrorized the people in the area. If John Brown was as moral a hero as this meme states, why
would Frederick Douglass turn down Browns offer to participate in his scheme ?
If one is born to hang they'll never drown, and John Brown didn't drink a drop, yet put others lives at risk hugely. Not a here.
The other thing Sherman did wrong was carry out the Field Orders No. 15... well technically you're right he did no wrong as he followed orders given.... yet it's not right w/o eminent domain payment rather than theft of personal real estate property from the legal and rightful owners.
Lincoln's Vice President, when he became president overturned this poorly executed orders given by Stanton to Sherman
