In May 1864, General William T Sherman invaded Georgia with 100,000 Union troops. By September, Sherman had taken Atlanta. The General then marched to the Atlantic coast, destroying everything in his path. Sherman's tactics are now known as "Total War", meaning not just war against an enemy army, but enemy civilians, as well.
What is your opinion of the tactic of "total war"? Explain
Do you agree the old saying "All is fair in love and war?" Explain.
My opinion about the tactic of the "total war" is that is very deadly because they destroyed everything on their path and they also destroyed all the enemy's civilians.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the old saying "All is fair in love and war" because the south wanted to leave and they started the war and if they didn't leave then they may still have peace.

How does it become even more deadly than it was intended
DeleteI think it was because when Sherman marched his troops through Georgia, he left more than $100 million in damage.

DeleteHow does the situation become any more deadly than it was supposed to be. Sherman left over a million dollars worth of damage.
Deletemy opinion on Sherman`s "Total War" tactic is that it can be really helpful if the town they are attacking is part of their enemies state/country.So my opinion on Shermans "Total War" tactic is it is great for taking advantage on enemies.
Deletein my oinion,i disagree with the qoute,"all is fair in love and war" because it would not be fair if the enemie team lose and their popullation of people had lowered down and the winning team acts like their town has won and have minimal damages to their towns and people.that is why i disagree with the qoute,"all is fair in love and war".- CLEMENTE CASCO
DeleteMy opinion on Sherman's "total war" tactic is that it can be helpful in a time of war. The fact that the town they are attacking is enemy territory Sherman's tactic is a great idea for taking advantage on enemies.

Deletei agree about tactic of "Total War" because if you want to win a war then you have to be as tactical as possible to get da mudda victory
DeleteMy opinion of the tactic of total war is that it was a good plan. Although the plan devastated the south, it was necessary to win the war.
ReplyDeleteYes i agree with the old saying. i also agree that the south got what they deserved in the war. After the war maybe they learned how slaves felt when they were desperate when they lost their families and had to overwork. - Mohammad Ikbal
Why was Total War a good plan? Why was it necessary to win the war?
DeleteHow was this a good idea? The south got totally destroyed. This affected the union because Lincoln now has to work harder on Reconstruction.

DeleteWe need to explain our first question with a bit more detail
ReplyDeleteI think the tactic of "total war" is unfair to civilians because they should not be involved into war since they didn't attend it. I also don't agree with the old saying "All is fair in love and war" because war itself is already the most unfair thing to civilians. -Chaojin Zheng 814
ReplyDeleteVincent Zhu
ReplyDeleteI think the tactic of total war was unfair. This was because even though the civilians in the south weren't involved in the war they got destroyed in the war. Also they got their houses and crop destroyed so they also starved to death. This affected Reconstruction as well so Lincoln will have to work harder on reconstructing what the south has lost.
I think the old saying all is fair in love and war is not true. This is because war is unfair to love or the civilians of the south. For example, General William T Sherman lead troops to the south and destroyed most of the southerners crops and homes.
I agree with you becasue many died becuase they were just living there and they got killed. Even though they didn't do anything wrong.
DeleteJason Zhang
My opinion of the tactic of" total war" is that Sherman wanted the Southerners and soliders to feel the impact of the war. Sherman did everything he could, from stealing to setting fires. By the time Sherman marched his troops through Georgia, he left more than $100 million in damage.
ReplyDeleteSophia Shi 814
Great review of the tactic, but how do you feel?
DeleteI feel that if Sherman wanted the Southerners and the soliders to feel the impact of the war, he shouldn't do it more than he needs to. He just needs to make his point to the Southerners and the soliders and stop whatever he's doing.
DeleteSophia Shi 814
in my opinion of the tactics of total war is that it is unreasonable because first of all its their own country why would they ruin it and left nothing for the south.after the war they still have to come back together.
ReplyDeletei don't agree with the saying because the war is not even fair the union had more people
-Cindy Lu
Elaborate on the second part. Pls..
Delete1.Our opinion on the tactic of "total war" is that its a good tactic.The reason why we believe this is because, since Shermans total war tactic was to destroy everything in his path including enemy civilians, which cause the other side to lose more essential sources and become weaker. 2.We do not agree with the old saying "all is fair in love and war".To begin with,during a war, many people lose their lives.Also, in a war any side that has an advantage will use it and will not give the other side the opportunity to regain power and strength. Edita and Maytha 814
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you because even though destroying everything on there path may make the North win but many innocent people that was just living there also die.
DeleteJason Zhang
But if the south had their crops destroyed then the union will be affected as well because they depended on the southern crop.
DeleteI think the tactic of "total war" is real unfair and bad to the civilians because the civilians didn't do any thing. The war is not mostly cause by the civilans. The civilians cant fight people that have weaopn.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the old saying "All is fair in love and war," beacuse the south want to leave the usa because they didnt want to freed the slave. lot of the slave die because they work all day long.

ReplyDeleteMy opinion of the tactic of "total war"is that i think it is a very bad plan because after the war the north and south will be reunited again.
if sherman destroy south and leave nothing for them it is just going to leave more work after the war for reconstruction,therefore my opinion of the tactic of "total war"is that i think it is a really bad plan.
No,i disagree the old saying"all is fair in love and war" because in my perspective i think that civil war is unfair because the north is way better than south they have more troop than south and have factory that can build better weapon! therefore i disagree with the old saying"all is fair in love and war"
In my opinion, the tactic of total war is unreasonable because the south is part of the united state .They also relay on the south for their factor why would they destory them ,they will reunited and have to fix for the south and help.
ReplyDeletei do not agree with the saying all is fair in love and war because they did not fight fairly the union stand more chance against the south they have factories which create gun and more people so i don't agree,and noting is equally.
-Bonnie 814
My opinion of the tactic of "Total War" is that i think that General William T Sherman is a guy who doesn't think what will happen because of his action. He destory the south without thinking that after they reunited the north have to help repair the south which is caused by him and his man.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with this saying "All is fair in love and war" because during the Civil War north haved more people than the south. Also the north haved more factory so they are able to produce more weapon than the south. The Civil War was an disadvantage battle for the south but an advantage battle for the north.

My opinion of the tactic of "total war" is that it means not just war against an enemy, but enemy civilians, as well. I think this strategy is bad because he marches to the Atlantic Coast, destroying everything in his path. - Li Zhi Lin I agree with the old saying "All is fair in love and war" because people fight for their own country. If you're fighting against them, then you become an enemy. Even though some people didn't participate in the war, they still get kill. Sherman's march to sea is an example of this.- Li Zhi Lin
ReplyDeleteMy opinion about total war is that it is a very destructive war tactic that can cause enormous damage. To begin with, if you are destroying everything in your path you are making the enemy frightened which shows that you are superior. For example, you are destroying crops so the soldiers can not get food anymore. Also, you are destroying civilians who might be soldiers. So that is what I think of total war.
ReplyDeleteNAME: Anis Akramov 802
DeleteMy opinion of the tactic of of "total war" is that theres war against everyone. I think that strategy is very bad. Wherever T Sherman goes he destroys everything . Once he destroys stuff, he never comes back to fix any of it . He doesnt think about what hes doing , or his actions after he does them .Now he left the south in damage .
ReplyDeleteI disagree with the old saying "All is fair in love and war" because people are fighting against each other for the same country. North had much more tools than the south because of its economy . The north was always better because they believed in the more smarter or better things. The North was just fighting to get what they thought was good for the country and what would help many people. Unlike, the South who just didnt want to agree with the North . So there's no love in a war if your going against each other .
Alyssa 802
Deletemy opinion on the march to atlanta is that the march to Atlanta was bad because The general had to destroy everything in his path. It can kill innocent people's lives. My opinion on the total war idea is that it can go terribly wrong because all they are doing is destroying everything in his path. Which that can include, unions people, innocent people, and farms. After the war the union might regret thus idea. -Ricardo

My opinion of the tactics of "total war" is they were very dangerous because they were the enemy and they wanted to destroy everything in their path of the opponent country. I disagree with the saying "All is fair in love and war" because on what I've been through in the past it shows that love isn't fair all the time and that war is caused by fighting for what you love and it isn't fair all the time, because what happens if you lose? The thing or person you were fighting for leaves and forgets... Some wars aren't fair all the time either because what if they cheat sometimes and sometimes the team that's not suppose to win wins anyway. Sometimes nothing's fair to some people and love and war are included in that.
ReplyDelete- Aisha and Melyna. 802
In my opinion, I think that the "total war" is dangerous and very deadly because Sherman is actually forcing the civillians to choose his side and if they don't, Sherman kills them. Sherman is literally risking the lives of others just to get what he desires and that is a bad thing since he's turning his own people against each other. And it's not fair to others because they are killing countless and innocent lives even when they weren't involved.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the old saying "All is fair in love and war" because you fight for your own country. You're actually defending yourself and your country but if you have to fight in a war, you become the enemy instead of someone else. And Sherman is also one of the reasons why there is a war between the North and the South. The North actually wanted peace with the South but, since Sherman started attacking the south, the south gets angry and fights back because Sherman is the one that provoked the South into fighting back.

After the war, The north didnt even bother to give money, or anything back to the South. All houses and crops were destroyed.Their were no shelter and no food, so the South Starved. Meanwhile, the North is just enjoying the timeof prospiraty.

- Ruiting Mei 802 :D
My opinion to the tactic of "total war" is that it just means to push the relationship between the south and north more hostile to each other. I think some of the southern civilians agreed with Linclon's reconsturstion plan, but the south governers wants to break up with the Union. So some of the civilians didn't have a choice. I also disagree with the old saying"All is fair in love and war" because in every war the people that suffer the most is the innocent civilians. It is not fair that just for someone's desire to open a war against others. Yu Han 802

I don't think people who aren't soldiers should have to be dragged into a war. The North did benefit from their tactic so they may not have seen it the way that I do.

I am also disagree with what old said (all is fair in love and war)because it is very unfair they just let thousand of the south people died and the method they use is very unfair to south they can't not just let the south people fight each other that is why I think this is very unfair
My opinion of the tactic of total war is I think that this strategy is not good because Sherman lead his union troops to invade Georgia then to Atlantic coast but he should not destroy everything in his path. He will hurt a lot of innocent people that did not even participate in it, he will also destroy a lot of property that does not belong to him. I disagree with the old phrase all is fair in love and war because even though winning is very important t us, to our country, but you should not do anything for winning. for example, you should not kill or hurt people who had nothing to do with it, or you should not do bad things in order to win, like cheating in a contest. - Vina Weng

ReplyDelete2. I disagree with the old saying "all is fair in love and war",because if there is fair in them, then there will be no devorces nor wars in this world. Also if there is fair , then Sherman and his troop will never even have this march at Georgia and killed many of the South's civilians.

DeleteIn my opinion on the tactic of the "total war" is very unfair to civilian because the civilian doesn't join the war,they are innocent.Sherman, a commercial and industrial city in northeastern Texas wanted the southerners and soliders to feel impact from the war.He trying to do everything he could,for example,he secretly arson and left more than $100 million in damge.So I agree the old saying "All is fair in love and war".

1) I think "Total War" is a cruel tactic because it will make many innocent people die and injure, and everything will be destroyed in the war. Also, when a country put all its energy on a war, everything else stops. Farmers are not planting. Workers are not manufacturing. They are all being brought to the war. People will then suffer from starvation and poverty. So I think this tactic is dangerous.
ReplyDelete2) I disagree the old saying "All is fair in love and war". It is because in my opinion, there's no such a thing called fair in love and war. In love, we may love someone hopelessly but we can never request that person to love us the same way we do. In war, many innocent civilians loss their lives; however, are they the one who start up the war? They are merely offered up as sacrifices to the war by those greedy people who are in power.

jasurjon 813. my opinion is sherman's because in1884 the most famous of all rejections: “I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected.” Even today, “a Sherman” is well-understood slang for a firm refusal.
