General William Sherman was one of the most notable Union Generals in the Civil War and is often referred to as the first modern military general. Supporters threw his name as a possible candidate in the 1884 presidential election and Sherman responded to the news with this quote "I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected.".

Sounds like he had his stuff together
An interesting man but I hear he is not very popular in Georgia. I would like to learn more about that and about him.
Old school hardcore man
Very interessant. You are a mine of informations :)
I didn't know he was the one that said that. I know the quote though.
Deginitely one of a kind!
If he's so notable why haven't I heard of him? Really, though, he sounds like an honorable guy. Off to Google to learn more...
"But, I will, however, invest in a comb."
"And, maybe a razor."
Just ask the people in Georgia.
Buena información!!

A Shermanesque Statement by Lyndon Johnson...
President Lyndon B. Johnson famously invoked the pledge in his March 31, 1968, national address announcing that he would not seek a second full term, saying "I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president."
very direct this man!
Haha...I love how he responded!
he seems a tough guy
