Anyone who studies how Sherman treated the South and later the Indians finds the same common thread. He had a sort of righteous indignation at any kind of resistance to his goals that translates into a determination to punish the resistor far beyond the laws of human decency followed by later attempts to explain his inexcusable behavior. It’s a shame that Mr. Hanson decided to help him out.
