Harold is right.  Total war is key.  There was a review of a bio of Sherman
2 or 3 weeks ago in the NYT Review of Books which strongly suggested that
the man who said "war is hell" believed he could end the war sooner -- and
stop the carnage -- by fighting the war in a differrent manner.  This seems
to ring true.  Margaret Mitchell (and David Selznick) probably did more to
set back the cause of understanding the war than anyone who has ever lived.
