Prayer being ordered for Lincoln, murder and rape on Shermans march, and wasn't it the Lincoln who told one of his generals " do something useful, burn a town"

Sir, I've never heard the one about prayers, though it's always said you can't pray a lie. Nor the stroy about burning a town. Sherman's march through the South devasting as it was to property had very, very litte rape and murder, especialy compare to any other invading Armies of comparitive statue. One thinks of the Napolean Campaign for instance. Please tell me of the wholesale murder and rape of women and kids by Sherman. I've lived in the South my whole life and know of the property damage, but wholesale rape and murder...No.
