General Sherman certainly hated Edwin Stanton. I have read that when both were on the reviewing stand at the Grand Review in WDC after the war, Sherman refused to shake hands with Stanton and turned his back on him. He remembered that Mr. Stanton had interfered with the initial surrender terms negotiated between General Sherman and General Johnston in April of that year.
I don't think that I have much in common with General Sherman, but I do share with him a particular enmity towards: "Journalists." General Sherman was quoted as saying: "If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast."
