The implementation of total war was a strategy picked by the Union officers for multiple reasons.

1) Total war will result in the destruction of Southern supplies and transportation. Sherman destroys railroad tracks, burns crops, and ruins plantations so that the Southern army/citizens have no resources to survive.

2) It will bring the Civil War to an end much quicker.

Sherman's idea of destroying the South can be viewed as an immoral action. This is due to the fact that Sherman and his troops will be destroying the land and property of individuals who may not even be part of the war or the Confederate war effort.

Kamila [148]
The statement that correctly describes the beginning of the decline of the Roman Empire would be "<span>a. Very few Roman emperors in the centuries after Augustus were competent rulers; most were insane, greedy, or both," since this led to a loss of power consolidation and insurrections on the "edges" of the empire. </span>

W.E.B. Du Bois was an outspoken critic of which fellow African American?
hodyreva [135]
WEB Du Bois was an outspoken critic of Booker T Washington. Du Bois believed the road towards ending racism would come from the most skilled and educated African Americans occupying positions like doctors and lawyers. Du Bois felt that would show that African Americans can be just as, if not more so, successful as white Americans. He disliked Booker T Washington's stances because Washington felt the answer to racism would come from African Americans occupying low-skilled jobs at first in order for a large mass of them to prove their mettle and ability to support society from the bottom-up.
