Which parts? The slash and burn to the sea part? Not saying it was right but would we be here now if he carried it out?

The parts after the war. I got my timeline backward. He was a big advocate of the ethnic cleansing of the Sioux, and other tribes, in which he participated to a limited extent.

No debate about destroying the infrastructure that was upholding slavery. If anything, I think the slaves should have gotten all the assets of their former masters and the US should have gone through with reconstruction.

We would not. Those slaver dynasties needed to end. Their culture–the culture of slavery–needed to be genocided.

It's no longer just a matter of ending a couple hundred rich asshole families who we already beat in war. That was the ounce of prevention. It's so much messier now.
