"Sherman's March" refers to the military campaign led by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman during the American Civil War from November 15, 1864, to December 21, 1864. The campaign involved a destructive march from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia, aimed at crippling the Confederate war effort by targeting infrastructure, supply lines, and civilian property.
Sherman's forces employed a strategy known as "total war," which sought to demoralize the Southern population and diminish their support for the Confederate government. The march covered approximately 300 miles and resulted in significant destruction, impacting both military and civilian resources in the region.
