- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- William T. Sherman is one of the most famous or infamous Civil War Generals. In this biography, you will learn about Sherman's personal life as well as his military career. You will find throughout this series a commander who had a lot of internal strife and personal problems, which he attempted to overcome. Essentially orphaned at a young age, he was taken in by a prominent politician and he would strive his entire life to get out from under Thomas Ewing's shadow and get away from Ohio. Sherman fell in love with the South and wanted to stay there, but the Civil War forced him to choose a side. Even though he loved the south, he thought that secession created disorder, which he hated and sought to end the chaos through preserving the Union.

4+ hours of Bill T Sherman coverage? Hell yeah, Brother!
Far better than any documentary I have seen in a long long time. Thank you for not cluttering it up with loud music in the back ground, or a slow pace of narration, or long pauses where no information is given. Great pace, not too fast not too slow, great visual representation, maps are good. Unbiased. You packed more in in one half hour than the big budget ones do in hours. This is the second video I went to on this subject. The first was a TV doc. There was so much music and noise and explosions etc in the audio I turned it off in less than four minutes. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! Please check out my other biographies and animated battle maps.
@@HistoryGoneWilder I subscribed, I will get around to it.
@@j.dragon651 I can't thank you enough for subscribing.
Boy, without realizing it, you hit it on the head describing the reasons this is so good! Thanks for sharing and big thanks to HGW!
Sherman wrote in his memoirs “war is ALL hell”. Probably the most misquoted quote of all time. His and Grants’ memoirs are a must for all civil war buffs.
Yes, correct. And also correct about the Grant and Sherman memoirs.
A quote by a famous person getting taken out of context? Who would have thought? LOL
Both memoirs are great. I love how Grant can't bring himself to criticize anyone for anything.
So is Andersonville Diary by Ransom.
An excellent documentary on the most fascinating civil war general of them all. Well done!
Thank you so much!
Excellent upload, well done & thank you for your commitment & dedication from 🇬🇧👍
What a great 4 hours of learning and entertainment! That's a heck of a lot of research. Thank you, Dr. Wilder!
@@TheWeatherbuff you're very welcome.
The Seminoles weren't too cowardly to attack a fort. They were too smart to attack a fortified position.
So good, such detail, well narrated. I love this so much.
@@thedeanrb3769 thank you so much for your kind words.
@@thedeanrb3769 I've got many other biographies. Please check them out.
thank you Dr Lucas wilder for making this a full biography of The general I looked up the most, I
hope you can Do Lee, Grant, Or even forrest Next Thanks alot!
As a Canadian and older, I am so glad I watched this. I have always been interested in all about the Civil War. I thought Sherman was so hard and cruel. He was so maligned. He was so human and seemed to me kind and human and in tune. I'm so glad to hear all of this. So sorry Sherman you have been disparaged
Sherman was a psychopath.
Oh no, I've found a 4 hour long documentary on the civil war but I already was about to sink deep into a also 4 hour long masterpiece on Napoleon!! I hate that I have to sleep.
Great job, we love your content.
Sherman's words are relevant today.

This was a great listen and watch. Thank you.
I live on Sherman avenue. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much for watching!
Will admit that I have listened to each chapter, as well as this masterpiece several times. Incredible content.
Thank you so much!
One of the greatest Americans. Almost alone among Americans, he presciently saw the war as it would unfold. Referring to Southern succession--And where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive or railway car. Scarcely a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make... you are bound to fail. Only in your passion are you prepared for war. In all else are you completely unprepared, with a bad cause to start with."
All your videos are good and this one is great,
Absolutely Great!
Amazing documentary! Excellent! Subbed
Thank you so much! I can't thank you enough for subscribing.
Fantastic History!
I really enjoy your videos especially your long form videos, I wish you would bring out more long-form videos but I know it takes time, but I think you would benefit more from long form videos especially the way UA-cam's algorithm is.
Thank you. I think so too. Going forward, I'm going to be producing more long form more often.
I love your work. Plus your human voice is awesome
Great material ! Four hours are realy heavy, but who cares ! Thanks !
Doctor Wilder, this was a great video.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much man.
once again I say thank you, sir.
this is a magisterial piece.
(he may not have been Grant,
but he won the tank-naming battle)
This is so good. Your students are very lucky!
This is a masterpiece. Thank you!
12:15 …. I have been to Benny Haven’s many times. It is still open🎉🎉🎉
Thanks doc
What kind of historian are you? Too many accurate facts, not enough politically correct BS.
I feel compelled to subscribe.
I would love for you to subscribe. I just try to bring History to the masses.
This is most excellent. Really fascinating to hear about Shermans relationship w the media. Really makes you think.
I watched the whole thing

I wonder if we'd have the troubles we do today if we were honest about yesterday.
Love the work you do. Just thinking how about Nathan Bedford Forest series he gave Sherman and Grant a lot of trouble during the civil war
Lets goooooooo!!!!!
You have a lot of information but you are not mentioning dates or years..
To quote William Tecumseh Sherman “War is hell!”
Sherman was a tough old bird but it took men like him and Grant to do what had to be done. Unfortunately, that war went on much longer than it should have because of the terrible generals that Lincoln had in charge before Grant and Sherman finally got a chance to do the job.
However Sherman said it…war is hell. You don’t get into one in order to be gentle. People suffer. People get hurt. People die. War is one of the ugliest things that human beings do.
I agree re: your comments about the terrible generals prior to Grant but I have come to believe their performance is easy to see in hindsight, which allows me to understand Lincoln's timeline.
Most wars start and end like this. It takes time for the best generals to make their way to the top.
Ellen seems to be a hand full.
@@Thor13332 she definitely does but Sherman didn't help the situation at all.
Yes she is heehehehe...
You're only held back by the restraints that bind you.
It was the Rev. Joseph Cadwallader of the 32nd Iowa who organized the transport for the people fleeing slavery during the Meridian expedition. Carts of very description were rounded up and allowed to follow the collum to Vicksburg.
This is my great grandfather’s brother- Charles Sherman
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! How about Nathan Bedford Forrest deep dive?
Run
Bellnap not beltnap 😢
Where the cold, clear mountain spring did roll
The green beech tree hung ‘cross the road
Iron rim wagons caught the sun
Back in the year of ‘sixty one
Now Sherman’s army marched around
In ’64 burned Georgia down
Setting wings to the feet
Of every living soul he’d meet
graycoat soldiers, norman blake
Sherman has been one of the greates men in history, too soft I think, with the southern traitors
Proper accent 🥔
The south, Still keeping our country from progressing since? Well forever., And we are tired of it...
Small reflections honoring small, dishonorable man
Countries progressing into a wall…. I don’t think the south has held that back…
The south is America's Christian anchor. God save the Bible belt.
Iv seen ur idea of "progress" and reject it, its not progress its regression
My grandma let me do her if I did my sister first and momma second. Than poppa did grandma than the goat.
He was worse on the natives after the Civil war
He had to be. They had a different culture. 😢
@@DavidWilliams-qr5yj genocide?
@@ronald-bh5vi the natives were harder on each other than Sherman was on them.
Howling Georgia remembers
How old do folks live there, anyways ? 🤔
All I do is like and comment. Sorry
Sources?
Getting to Bull Run and remember that both Sherman and Johnston were there. Both started the war before Lee and Grant and both ended after Grant and Lee. Both maligned by history for what hey are best known for. Fire and retreating.
Sherman tried to blame his men for his own incompetence at Shiloh.
Hated San Francisco because it's a filthy city... I've got a News Flash: It's gotten Worse..!
Some consider Sherman to be a domestic terrorist.
Lee, Grant or Sherman as the greatest? Not only as military men but as human beings.
For me *Lee* pips it. Although all had immense abilities &, most importantly, a lot of humanity & integrity to them.
The railroad and Irish immigration won
Wage labor beat slave labor
There was a chance in between presidential elections
But General Lee lost
It wasn't his fault though
Perhaps the pride of Stewart's Calvary or the loss of Longstreet's support at that crucial moment at the battle of Gettysburg
Absolutely detest Sherman. Love Your Channel.
Sore loser 😂
Sore losers
Sherman lame-o
Sherman was a bad ass.
@@logank444 ass is correct
Boring as watching seaweed dry out but very informative. The script and the delivery could really be improved, but it s bursting with facts. C+
Sherman.. war criminal... but on the right side of the war...
Committed genocide against the natives after the Civil war
That's a laugh
First part of your comment = wrong.
Second part = 🎉 💯 % ✅️ 🎯
