  18. War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over. • War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want. • I intend to make Georgia howl. • I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.

  19. 1864 Election • No president had won second term in 30 years • Public opinion was waning for the war • Conservative northerners were alarmed by Emancipation Proclamation • Sherman took Atlanta in September 1864 • “don’t change horses mid-stream” • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1864
