Sherman's March to the Sea — Review LITERACY · 8TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. In late 1864 Union general William T. Sherman marched his army from Atlanta to the port of Savannah, Georgia. Rather than fight for territory, his troops destroyed railroads, factories, crops and supplies across a wide path. The aim was to break the Confederacy's ability to keep an army in the field and to convince civilians the war could not be won. The march is an early large-scale example of what became known as total war, and it left lasting bitterness in the region. Questions: 1 Where did the march begin and end? 2 What was the aim of destroying supplies rather than taking ground? 3 What term describes this kind of warfare? www.littleactivity.com 8th Grade · Literacy
