Philip Sheridan

Philip Henry Sheridan byl důstojník armády Spojených států a generál na straně Unie v americké občanské válce. Rychle postoupil na generálmajora a měl blízké vztahy s vrchním velitelem generálem Ulyssesem S. Grantem. Ten Sheridana, velitele pěchotní divize na západním bojišti, převedl na východ, kde mu svěřil jízdní sbor Potomacké armády. V roce 1864 Sheridan porazil síly Konfederace pod vedením generála Jubala Earlyho v údolí Shenandoah. Sheridan pak zničil ekonomickou infrastrukturu údolí v akci zvané obyvateli The Burning (Vypálení); bylo to jedno z prvních použití taktiky spálené země v občanské válce v USA. V roce 1865 Sheridanova kavalerie pronásledovala síly generála Roberta E. Leeho a přispěla k jeho kapitulaci u Appomattoxu. .. pokračovat ve čtení
