Confederate „Heritage“ Month 2020, April 16: Sherman Marching Through Georgia

Today, another Union song, this one celebrating Sherman's famous march "march to the sea", which the Lost Cause devotees made a prime grievance against the North in their neo-Confederate narrative. It's from the country start Tennessee Ernie Ford (1919–1991), Marching Through Georgia:

Here's a nice bit of debunking from the National Park Service against a piece of neo-Confederate pseudohistory having to do with Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's march through Georgia, Myth: General William Sherman’s “March to the Sea” destroyed supplies that would have gone to the prisoners at Andersonville 04/14/2015.

The atrocious conditions to which the Confederacy subjected Union prisoners-of-war at Andersonville was a legitimate grievance against the secessionists:

From February 1864 until the end of the American Civil War (1861-65) in April 1865, Andersonville, Georgia, served as the site of a notorious Confederate military prison. The prison at Andersonville, officially called Camp Sumter, was the South’s largest prison for captured Union soldiers and known for its unhealthy conditions and high death rate. In all, approximately 13,000 Union prisoners perished at Andersonville, and following the war its commander, Captain Henry Wirz (1823-65), was tried, convicted and executed for war crimes.
