What would you have done had you been Hood or another general in the West?
If I was Hood I would have shadowed Sherman deep into Georgia and attempted to counter attack him near Savannah while his supply lines were at his longest.
Both were the best North genrals the Union had but who would you say had a bigger impact in the Souths fall in the U.S. CIVIL WAR. Was it GRANTS pinning down Robert E. Lee and always threating Richmond? OR Was it Shermans Deep invasion of the South and the destruction of Atlanta?? OR Were their stratgies of equal value??

As much as I hate him, I have to place my hat in with Sherman. :-?
He drive was unseen since General Patton after him.
Grant, yes, he kept the South down. But Sherman, he made the killing blow. Hundreds of thousands more could of died had Sherman not broke the south’s spine.
If you want to know the answer to this question all you have to do is ask a southerner “who is the most hated General in history?”
They will always say Sherman.
