		Schofield had a busy war, rising from lieutenant on leave of absence in the spring of 1861 to Lieutenant-General by the end of the war.

		Schofield says: "Accordingly I directed General Ewing to adopt and carry out the policy he had indicated, warning him, however, of the retaliation which might be attempted, and that he must be fully prepared to prevent it before commencing such severe measures.

		Schofield led the small left wing of Sherman’s army as it moved towards Atlanta in 1864, and when Sherman marched to the sea, Schofield’s army was dispatched north to Nashville to reinforce George Thomas.
		Schofield’s true claim to fame is not his defeat of Hood at Franklin, but his little-known, tireless and long efforts to reform the military structures of the nation.
		About the only blemish on Schofield’s record of nearly a half-century active service in the army was his role in the disciplinary case of an African-American cadet at West Point, where he was biased in protecting the reputation of the academy and refused to investigate hazing charges thoroughly.
