Students read this blog post by a historian arguing that Sherman's March to the Sea was not a war crime. Read it, then answer these questions.
1. What did Sherman ask Hood for help in? How did Hood respond? What was Sherman's response to Hood? Does this correspondence affect whether the March was a war crime? Why?
2. What reason did Halleck say justified Sherman's foraging?
3. What reasons does the writer give for her position? Do you agree with her?
Periods one and two, due tomorrow. Periods five and six, due Friday.
