Imagine how Sherman would react to film adaptations of books and histories. I can imagine him raving at the new Napoleon movie.

A historical hunger games simulator (and me)
Jimmy Carter kills everyone.
Already he’s killed three people.
Czolgosz and I are hunting together, Robespierre almost killed Bernie, Breckenridge being creepy
Dammit, Madison. Dammit Czolgosz. Also Coolidge auto corrected to Koolaid when I was making this…
Oh goodbye Hayne… also who is giving Breck a hatchet? OK Mary.
Carter kills another one. Weird as fuck alliances. Oh Clay.
Carter killed another one! And so does Jackson!
lots of people die. Including me.
What an anticlimactic death.
Honestly, she’s the best person to win this. I’m not mad.
Jim my Carter had six kills. SIX.

The Western campaigns here will be covered ahead of the broader holistic Eastern picture:
The decision to cover the Western campaigns first is both because I find the Western war much more interesting than the Eastern, because of the 40 Acres and a Mule case spinning directly out of these campaigns, and because it's both where the war was won and where the second largest massacre unfolded during the Savannah Campaign. In this case it begins with the Atlanta Campaign that unfolded simultaneously to Petersburg, achieving much more fluid advances at lower costs because Joe Johnston did what he did best. He retreated, always pledging to fight the next battle, while writing angry hatemail to Jeff Davis about why it was always his fault that Joe Johnston's army was always vastly outnumbered and why Sherman could take staggering losses but never be weak enough to attack.
The result was that when Joe Johnston was penned up at the very gates of Atlanta he was once again sacked and replaced by the over-aggressive opium addict John Bell Hood. Who proceeded to prove himself the worst general on either side launching four bloody attacks that ruined his army, permitted Sherman to take Atlanta, and leading to the famous telegram of "Atlanta is ours and fairly won."
In the process Sherman's army struck deep into the very heart of the Rebellion, shaking slavery where its masters thought themselves safest, and capturing the last major railway hub of the Confederacy.

After that terrible Sunday at Shiloh, I started out to find [General] Grant and see how we were to get across the river. It was pouring rain and pitch dark, there was considerable confusion, and the only thing just then possible as it seemed to me, was to put the river between us and the enemy and recuperate. Full of only this idea, I ploughed around in the mud until at last I found him standing backed up against a wet tree, his hat well slouched down and coat pulled up around his ears, an old tin lantern in his hand, the rain pelting on us both, and the inevitable cigar glowing between his teeth, having retired, evidently, for the night. Some wise and sudden instinct impelled me to a more cautious and less impulsive proposition than at first intended, and I opened up with, "Well Grant, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?"
"Yes," he said, with a short, sharp puff of the cigar; "lick 'em tomorrow, though."
-- General William Tecumseh Sherman, on General Ulysses S. Grant after the first day of the Civil War's Battle of Shiloh in 1862, as told to the Washington Post (published May 17, 1891).
