I have never advocated war except as a means of peace.

No other terms than unconditional and immediate surrender. I propose to move immediately upon your works.

Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster.

I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.

My aim then was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us.
William Tecumseh Sherman

This war differs from other wars, in this particular. We are not fighting armies but a hostile people, and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war.
William Tecumseh Sherman

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.
