I basically understand that politicians thought he was stepping on their toes.
But weren't he and Johnson just trying to get it over with quickly?
Wasn't Stanton a nervous Nellie?
Wasn't everything decided and anything these 2 generals did; could 't it just be over-ridden if it was wrong, later?
Does any of it make a man a scoundrel or a traitor?
Could it just be enthusiasm of the moment?
Did they really think Sherman and Johnston could overthrow 40 years of policies and 4 years of war?
And that Sherman was going to take his 60k men and march around ALL the union armies and install a dictator?
That's all hogwash!
