M4 Sherman

A community portal about M4 Sherman with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Medium Tank M4 was the primary tank produced by the United States for its own use, and the use of its Allies during World War II. Production of the M4 Medium tank exceeded 50,000 units, and its chassis served as the basis for thousands of other armored vehicles such as tank destoyers, tank retrievers, and self-propelled artillery. In the United Kingdom Lend-Lease M4s were dubbed Sherman after Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, following the British practice of naming American tanks after famous American generals. Subsequently the British nickname found its way into common use in the US. Following WWII, the M4 medium tank was used by the US until the end of the Korean War. Many nations continued to use the tank in both training and combat roles into the late 20th century.

JUNETEENTH: General Sherman's Republic

Written by XYBORG on

From: afristok-7.blogspot.com

A closer examination of General William Tecumseh Sherman’s 1865 Special Field Order No.15, requisitioning land for the settlement of Black slaves freed during the American Civil War ~ when refracted through the prism of contemporary Mideast territorial politics ~ transforms it into a 242/338-like UN Security Council resolution mandating the creation of a kind of Black American Palestine out of which could have emerged a larger sovereign Black republic within the continental United States of America.

For his part, General Sherman emerges as an Accidental Founding Father ~ a "Thomas Jefferson-by-Default" ~ of what could one day be a resurgent Black secessionist movement in that country.
