freedmen died at the hands of Sherman?

I haven't seen The Andersonville Trial, but I did think of you when I saw an advertisement on the History Channel.  "Sherman's legacy was built during a five-week campaign of terror and destruction that would become known as "total war".   Was he a hero?  Some people thought he was a butcher.  You decide.  Sherman's March Sunday April 22 at 9 Eastern on History."

Apologies to butchers.  The abjectly politically incorrect statement tacitly suggesting butchers are somehow less than honorable isn't mine, it's the History Channel's scriptwriters.  Still, the commercial piqued my interest and also I figured you might want to watch it.  You may already know everything they'll say, but you could point out factual errors, if there are any.  I find that the History Channel is pretty good at checking facts.
