Sherman's March to the Sea

Sherman's March to the Sea was a significant military campaign during the Civil War led by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman. In 1864, Sherman and his troops marched from Atlanta, Georgia, to Savannah, destroying railroads, buildings, and supplies along the way.

This strategic move aimed to cripple the Confederate war effort and demonstrated the Union's resolve to win the war. Sherman's tactics of total war emphasized the impact of the war on civilians and sought to weaken the South's ability to continue fighting.
