Siege and total war: Necessary or not?
I think that the siege and total war is unnecessary for ordinary civilians to go through. At least Sherman could have set the military camps on fire, instead of setting ordinary people's homes on fire. It is not fair to them, especially if they don't want anything to do with the war. Another option for Sherman to do could be to plan a surprise attack, involving soldiers, not innocent people.
Siege made it unfair for civilians as well, because they were starving, and if they were lucky, they could eat a rat. Ew!
Overall, in my opinion, I don't think that siege and total war is right, nor fair.
I agree that it was not fair and that it should not involve citizens. Over all really good response.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about Sherman being able to do other things than hurting normal civilians.
