Lincoln friend and psychopathic killer General William T. Sherman actually proposed to do just that. He wanted to kill every man, woman, and child that supported the secession of the southern states, the Confederate Army, and anyone else he might want to kill.

That's just a little biased.
I actually read some of Sherman's writings, primary source, for a paper I wrote on his march to Atlanta. From what I read, he did not like the total war strategy, but felt it was necessary to end the war. He advocated destruction of property to demoralize the enemy and their supporters. That's a far cry from what you wrote.
