Your suggestion that General Sherman was bi-polar is interesting. I have maintained that his performance at Missionary Ridge was due to a deep depression. He seemed unable to act in response to circumstances and, apparently, informally turned over command to his brother in law -- General Ewing. Sherman's letters indicate he was extremely affected by the death of his son 6 weeks earlier. I believe he was in a deep depression as a result. Your suggestion is interesting to me for that reason.
