In Response To: Cump would hate this episode ()

It was the more accepted view during the 50's and 60's. My memory of any reference to Sherman war record and Sherman's March was it was always in the extreme, especially when associated with the burning of Atlanta.

As for Gone With the Wind...

David O. Selznick. He was famous for his memos- The capital letters and italics are Selznick's:

"Most importantly, DON'T refer to the BURNING OF ATLANTA as such. The scene in the picture is not the burning of Atlanta but rather the burning of certain buildings containing war materials. The city in general was not touched by these fires!"

According to the book, the timeline would have Scarlett fleeing the city before Sherman burned it.
