Summary
You know the strange perversity of these people and their fierce belief that what they wish to happen is sure to do so the next day…
General John Pope to General William T. Sherman, Atlanta, Ga., 29 June 1867, W. T. Sherman MSS.Any plan of reconstruction is wrong that tends to leave these old leaders in power. A few of them give certain evidence of a change of heart,–by some means save these for the sore and troubled future; but for the others, the men who not only brought on the war, but ruined the mental and moral forces of their people before unfurling the banner of Rebellion–for these there should never any more be place or Countenance among honest and humane and patriotic people.
