        No "scorched earth" there. Is it really true that he spared it b/c of its appeal? 🤔

        Am I imagining or did Thomas Nast draw his first published Santa Claus during the Civil War as a black man seemingly lynching Jefferson Davis? http://www.sonofthesouth.net/Original_Santa_Claus_.htm …

        W.T. Sherman's march to the sea with the Scorched Earth tactics he employed, would have landed him on the War Criminals List in today's universe. Just saying.
