ROBERT E. LEE
WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN
"War
is cruelty, and you cannot refine it ... You might as well appeal against the
thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable,
and the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and
quiet at home is to stop the war ..."
