Cope, seethe and dilate Johnny Reb. William Tecumseh Sherman was a true blue badass motherfucker and the closest thing the US has ever had to Qinggis Khan or Georgi Zhukov. His only mistake was not salting the fields of Atlanta so that it wouldn't get rebuilt into the hellscape it is now.
Let's be somewhat real though, if Sherman had been on the losing side nobody would really contest what he did would constitute war crimes today, specifically retaliating against civilian populations and disproportionate retaliation. That said, a civil war is almost invariably a total war and nobody is as good at killing Americans as other Americans.

It is a sad fact that in a civil war, you damn well have to ensure the losing side does not get back up any time soon.

As an example of an actually prosecuted war crime, look to Andersonville, even though the camp commandant, after evaluating what actually happened, was almost certainly not singly responsible for what happened there. He quite simply wasn't given enough food to feed the prisoners and had no magic to conjure up more. He still got the rope.
This magnificent autist deserves a medal.
