Oh, of course there is, and it was a multifacted multifarious display of the principle that war is made up of individuals, (and, at the same time, utterly inevitable if you look at the numbers/technologies), and I'm very afraid that if I try to say anything more to convince you that I am a sane, rational appreciator of the historical time period in which you work you will find out very rapidly that I am mostly just in it for the period costumes, so this sentence is ending now. But what I was going to say was that though I may admire many a fine Confederate specimen of a man, only Sherman (and, as a sort of corollary, Grant) could take me in a manly fashion without shaving and bathing first.
