Scarlett O'lhra would never forgive
us. She taught us to despise the man who
net only devastated Taxa and Atlanta on
his legendary march through Georgia,
but destroyed the charm and grace of
Southern life as well.
Now comes a new play which purports
to tell us that the same man was a man of
peace, who believed as much in "malice
toward none" as Abraham Lincoln.
The play b Sherman, the Peacemaker,
and if that title seems to you a
contradiction in terms, it is probably
because its subject, Union General
William T. Sherman, is best known as the
man who burned Atlanta.
Written by James Reston Jr. of the
UNC English department, Sherman, the
Peacemaker will have its world premiere
Thursday at 8 p.m. by UNCs Playmakers
Repertory Company in Playmakers
Theatre. '.. "
Reston, who said people have been
both intrigued and confused by the play's
title and subject, also said the play will
deal with a side of Sherman of which few
people are aware.
"Sherman is one of those characters
that has a very one-dimensional
reputation," Reston said. "This play is a
much more complex treatment of
Sherman than there has been in modern
times." .

Southerners, remember Sherman as a
ruthless warrior, few know that during
Reconstruction he became one of the
most outspoken supporters cf Lincoln's
moderate re-unification policies.
After the surrender of Robert E. Lee at
Appamattox, Sherman began peace
negotiations with his Confederate
counterpart, Joseph Johnston, at Bennett
Place in Durham. Although Lincoln was
murdered shortly before the negotiations
began, Sherman maintained the
president's moderate views, which
conflicted with those of the men then in
power in Washington. ,
Sherman was called before the Senate
to defend the treaty he negotiated, which
provided lenient amnesty terms for
Confederates. It is this Senate inquiry
which is the focus of the play, pitting
Sherman against the leader of the hard
line forces, Secretary of War Edwin
Stanton.
Reston said that Sherman was a
"cauldron cf contradictory passions,"
making him an interesting character for
the stage.
The image of Sherman as a fierce
military leader is no mistake, Reston
said. The general was also distrustful of
democracy, and his "contempt for the
voice of the little man" is probably why he
preferred a monarchy, Reston said.
These views, Reston said, make the
compassion Sherman displayed in the
peace process even more intriguing.
In the early years of the war, Sherman

had few successes and gained a reputation
of being a crazy man. "He was intense,
but he wasn't crazy," Reston said.
Reston denied any specific point in
Sherman's character at which he might
have changed from warrior to
peacemaker, because he said the general
was essentially the same person in both
roles. But Reston said that Sherman's
meeting with Lincoln near the end of the
war greatly influenced Sherman's
thoughts on Reconstruction, and if
anything signaled change, it was that
meeting.
Reston first became interested in
Sherman when he was researching a book
on amnesty after war. He was locking at
the Civil War period to see what
precedents had been set for presidential
amnesty, and his search led him to
Sherman's memoirs.
Reston said that the Vietnam era is a
real parallel to the post-Civil War era,
comparing it as the "divisive war of my
generation and the divisive war of
another generation." Sherman, the
Peacemaker raises questions about how
history can teach us to deal with the
problems of the present, such as amnesty,
Reston said. -
He considered using the material for an
historical novel, then decided to write a
screenplay. But, Reston said, "I didn't
think Hollywood was ready for General
Sherman." So the project became a stage
play, Reston's first attempt at drama.
Reston said he was particularly
impressed by the collaborative effort of
this stage production. The play was first
read by Playmakers Artistic Director
Tom Haas in November 1978 and has
undergone substantial changes since
then.
Haas and other theater people were not
nearly as interested in the story as they
were the "dramatic life" of Reston's play,
the playwright said.

was a three-act play which depicted the
Senate inquiry with flashback scenes to
establish Sherman's character. Now the
play is in two acts with multiple scenes in
chronological sequence.
Rehearsals began in early October, and
Reston said he was surprised by the
"substantive creative input by the actors."
He said he always though actors were
given a script which they accepted as
written.
There are 12 cast members and an
elaborate set. The backdrop is a montage
of Civil War scenes and figures. Reston
said the set designer has said the play has
more scenery than Yellowstone National
Park.
The premiere is expected to draw
drama critics from national publications
as well as representatives of Ford's
Theatre in Washington, who are
interested in staging it there.
Sherman, the Peacemaker will run
through Nov. 18, Tuesdays through
Sundays, in the Playmakers Theatre.

available at Graham Memorial box office
or by calling 933-1121.
