    Unless Savannah is some girl he knows, not sure this lands. Savannah, GA wasn’t really ever ravaged in the Civil War or anything.

    Atlanta’s the one that got leveled.

      Like that is what you point out, and not the fact they got the wrong Sherman pictured lol. John Sherman ≠ William Tecumseh Sherman

        Ha, another good point. I didn’t recognize the person so I just lazily assumed it was supposed to be “generic Union Soldier”

        I knew it was the wrong Sherman, but in the case of Google, I’d want the Total War Scorched Earth type.

      Yeah. I just remembered from history class that he had given them a message saying basically “Surrender or I lay unholy seige apon the city and you either die by being blown up or starve to death.” and the name sounded good, lol. He did end up with the key to the city! Good old Sherman. Liked to laugh, sing, set fire to homes, sometimes with people in them, good old total war guy.
