During this time he was known for allowing his troops to engage in tactics that were considered to be brutal. This is because he felt that the constant Indian attacks on the railroads and settlers were unacceptable. As a result, he allowed soldiers to attack women, children and men when they were sweeping villages. At the same time, he helped to establish the Command and General Staff College along with writing his autobiography called Memoires. Once he retired from the army he was inducted into the Kappa Psi fraternity and the Irving Literary Society. Upon his death in 1891, Sherman was remembered for being brilliant military tactician and as someone who was willing to give something back to society. This is significant, because it is showing how Sherman's life was focused on military and public service after the end of the Civil War. The answers the question we are studying, was found at two websites and one book. (Lanning 29 -- 32)

As the experiences and the outcomes of what happened, created a foundation that would shape their overall beliefs about life. This is when Chamberlin, Meade and Sherman would focus on different aspects to reshape their role in society
In the case of Chamberlin and Sherman, they are focused on specific incidents that helped to shape their lives after war. For Chamberlin, this meant that he would concentrate on public service and helping to support those who are less fortunate. This is because of the events at various battles caused him to believe that he must be doing something more to better society. While Sherman, was concentrating on advancing his military career and using the tactics that he learned to subjugate the Indians. Yet, he also began to focus on public service and doing more based on the carnage that he seen during the events of the Civil War.
Whereas Meade engaged in similar career choices by: serving as military governor and the Commissioner of Fairmont Park. What makes him different is that these positions were considered to be lower in comparison to those held by Chamberlin and Sherman. As a result, he served in public life, but was not as big of an influence on other events. These different elements are important, because they are showing how the Civil War reshaped the views of these men about: the world and the role that they are playing in it.
