I remember as a kid having square dance classes and one of the songs was "Marching through Georgia", still being sung after a hundred years.


They sing it in India. When we were first married, my wife sang it all the time until I showed her my "Sons of the Confederacy" card and taught "The Bonniie Blue Flag". Cross-culteral marriages can be interesting.

The History Channel is showing a program about Sherman's March next Sunday (Apr. 22) at 9 p.m. eastern time.



Drex -> RE: Sherman's March (4/16/2007 4:11:43 AM)

Ah1 that's the date. I didn't catch it when I first announced the show was coming. Thanks!

I just saw this evening on the history channel an advertisement for Sherman's March showing on Sunday at 9pm. The ad was clips from the show with the music of "The Devil went down to Georgia" by Charlie Daniels. It definately caught my attention since I was focused on framing photographs at the time with the history channel on as background.

The show was on last night. two hours. I thought it was pretty good. Could have watched another two hours if there was more. They definitely downplayed Sherman's badman image.

As a proud Southerner and Texan, Sherman's March was brutal to the southern people and nation, but for the most part in a militarily and morally justifiable way (at least if one accepts as I do that waging a total war is morally justifiable). There were some excesses, but those were not formal policy but rather unintentional (though preventable) exceptions.

I wasn't aware that his more terrible depredations were in South Carolina. Atlanta gets all the attention.

Just watched the series on the History channel and it was very interesting.

True. It's still barely a mild violence PG rating compared to some of the 20th centuries' R and director's cut level strong violent content.
