“I can make this march, and I will make Georgia howl”

Gen. William T. Sherman on his march to the sea, which began on this day in 1864.

"We're here to finish what Sherman started" was my all time favorite Game Day sign when they were at the SECCG in 2007 I think

General Perkins has something to say about this.

Sherman knew how to make a point.

After the war, he sent LSU a "gift" of two cannon, both of which had fired on Sumter to start the war. They are outside the ROTC building today.



Translated to baw talk, Sherman was clearly saying, "Don't start no shite and there won't be no shite." Alternatively, he might have been saying, "You fricked around and found out."

about as relevant:

Over the centuries, Georgia was the object of rivalry between Persia, Turkey and Russia, before being eventually annexed by Russia in the 19th century.

Since emerging from the collapsing Soviet Union as an independent state in 1991, Georgia has again become the arena of conflicting interests.

I remember when the Student Section chanted "Go Home Yankees" when we played Northern teams. Now, we celebrate Sherman's terroristic actions? What has this board come to?

I’d join him in burning Atlanta down in 2022 but not in 1864

Anyone who burns Atlanta is good in my book.

He was a war criminal. Is that your point?

He should have been tried, convicted, and hung for war crimes.

Fun fact: when LSU reopened after the Civil War, Sherman donated books from his personal collection for the Library.
