Total War and Siege: Was It Necessary?

I think that everyone in the Union and CSA wants this war to be over. The Civil War keeps getting worse and worse and I think everyone just wants it to be over. So in my opinion, using siege and total war was necessary because it would bring us closer to the end of the war and closer to the south surrendering. What I don't think is right, is that Sherman burnt down people's houses and innocent civilians were left living in caves, eating rats and horses. Although, like I said, I agree with this action of total war and siege because it will bring the war closer to the end.

  2. Molly I agree with your thought on getting the war over with but you also have to think about if they want to get the war over it will risk things maybe even civilians.

  4. I disagree with you. I think that it was not necessary. I think that because it was rude to have people eating there own horses and eating rats. I think that it could have been settled a different way.
