Trevor Benson “There is a class of people men, women and children [in the South], who must be killed or banished before you can hope for peace and order.”
- General William T. Sherman, in a letter to US Secretary of War Edwin Station, June 21, 1864.
Trevor Benson “To the petulant and persistent secessionists, why death is mercy, and the quicker he or she is disposed of the better . . . . Until we can repopulate Georgia, it is useless to occupy it, but the utter destruction of its roads, houses, and people will cripple their military resources”
- General William T. Sherman
Trevor Benson “The war will soon assume a turn to extermination not of soldiers alone, that is the least part of the trouble, but the people.”
- General William T. Sherman
Trevor Benson “We are not fighting against enemy armies but against an enemy people; both young and old, rich and poor must feel the iron hand of war . . .”
