Why I Admire William Tecumseh Sherman I admire William Tecumseh Sherman because he fought for the freedom of all Americans. Sherman was a strong leader, and business savvy as well. In addition, he was a family man. Sherman was a well-rounded person who succeeded in all aspects of life. I hope to be just as successful in all my life endeavors.
