SHERMAN IN 1865If Sherman was deemed merciless in war, he was superbly generous when the fightingwas over. To Joseph E. Johnston he offered most liberal terms of surrender foi theSouthern armies. Their acceptance would have gone far to prevent the worst of thereconstruction enormities. Unfortunately his first convention with Johnston wasdisapproved. The death of Lincoln had removed the guiding hand that would havemeant so much to the nation. To those who have read his published correspondenceand his memoirs Sherman appears in a very human light. He was fluent and fre-quently reckless in speech and writing, but his kindly humanity is seen in both. .sEsniZIS: o Atlanta—^Ijerman w. Jolntstnn * *
