In 1859 Sherman became the superintendent of a new military college in Louisiana. Later this would be LSU , Louisiana State University. At his post there, Sherman gained knowledge of the attitudes of the Southerners he met. He learned about their views on secession, but was against such an idea.
William Tecumseh Sherman was a military officer from 1840-1853 and from 1861-1883. After the military retirement of General Grant, Sherman was commanding general of all US Army forces. From 1853-1861, according to University of Notre Dame archivists, Sherman was "a banker in California, a lawyer in Ohio, a superintendent of a military academy in Louisiana (forerunner of Louisiana State University), and president of a street railway in St. Louis."

Robert e Lee was the Souths General who surrenders to a General Sherman and a General Grant who led a "march to the sea" burning down everything in his path. He also set aside 400000 acres of land to give to former slaves. After this the south surrenders and the north wins the Civil War. General Sherman is more remembered for this incident.
General Sherman incident happened in 1866.
Grant defeated Lee, as planned. Sherman failed to defeat Joe Johnston's Army of Tennessee (later John Hood's), but this army was totally routed later by George Thomas at Nashville. Sherman then went on to cross Georgia and the Carolinas, which definitely shortened the war, finally defeating Joe Johnston in command of another Confederate army.
