You're not comparing property destruction to dropping bombs on civilians, are you?

Maybe I have my facts wrong, but weren't a lot of civilians killed too?

And even so, it was devastating to the south, and while I don't think for a second that Sherman's March was wrong or a mistake, treating it glibly the way Alby did is tasteless. This isn't sympathy to slaveowners.
