Anecdote time: My mom grew up in the Atlanta suburbs in the 50s and 60s, and while she converted to Mormonism (I got better!) for my dad, she was very much a white woman of her place and time. Growing up, she made it clear that she knew of exactly three “sons of perdition,” a biblical term the LDS used to describe “those who were permitted to be born to this world with physical bodies but then served Satan and turned utterly against God [and who] will not be redeemed from the second (spiritual) death and cannot dwell in a kingdom of glory.”

They were Adolph Hitler (fair enough), Napoleon Bonaparte (I’m guessing a personal bugaboo of whatever armchair historian and armchair-ier theologian introduced her to this concept, but okay he started a lot of very large wars), and William Tecumseh Sherman.
